IPC standards offer blueprints for a successful PCB design—one that will likely cruise through your fabricator’s production line. But standards can seem confusing to anyone who is new to the industry. How many standards are there, anyway?
So, in this issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors discuss how PCB designers can utilize standards to save time and money, not to mention frustration. We also discuss the updated version of the IPC Checklist, a handy guide that illustrates which standards cover which topics, from front-end design through assembly.

Audits: A Critical Element of Process Control
09/03/2024 | Randy Cherry, IPCA formal audit always seems difficult to justify. Companies do not want the expense, and employees do not want the hassle. There is always a chance of failure, and management struggles to understand the benefits. If you or your company has had issues with auditing, hopefully, this article will help you feel a little more comfortable about the auditing process.
Give Yourself an Edge at the IPC High Reliability Forum 2024
08/27/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineFor those who support military and defense products, few topics are more important than reliability, particularly as we venture into complex packaging requirements that accommodate next-gen chips and electronic systems. Recently, I visited with Teresa Rowe, IPC senior director, assembly and standards technology, to discuss the IPC High Reliability Forum (HRF), Oct. 9-10, at the McKimmon Center, in Raleigh, North Carolina. With topics that cover high-voltage electronics, standardized test methods, and assembly and solder joint X-ray challenges, it is clear that this event needs to be included on your annual conference calendar.

Dana on Data: The Evolution of Fabrication Drawing
08/15/2024 | Dana Korf -- Column: Dana on DataIn June, IPC released an excellent white paper called “Next Generation Design Needs,” presenting the need for the transformation of disparate design tools and processes. It’s time to eliminate silos. This paper could have been released at any time since the 1990s since the fundamental challenge has not significantly improved. The accepted data transfer process assumes that the manufacturer will fix the design documentation so boards can be manufactured to meet the design, reliability, and cost requirements.
