The 5-22arr J-STD-001/Conformal Coating Material & Application Industry Assessment Task Group discussed the current status of round robin testing.
The 5-22as Task Group met to discuss an addendum to 5-22as, Space Applications Electronic Hardware Addendum to IPC J-STD-001F Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies.
The 5-22f IPC-HDBK-001 Task Group celebrated the completion of the forthcoming revision to IPC-HDBK-001, Handbook and Guide to Supplement J-STD-001, and discussed opening the document for an amendment to address changes as a result of J-STD-001F, Am 1.
The 5-23a Printed Circuit Board Solderability Specifications Task Group reviewed all comments submitted on the Amendment 1 to the J-STD-002D, including the substantial number from Jim Daggett of Raytheon.
The 5-23b Component and Wire Solderability Specification Task Group reviewed some potential changes to J-STD-003C that may just allow the people from DSCC to accept what could be the revision D of this standard.
The 5-24a Flux Specifications Task Group reviewed the SIR test method verification plan, including comparing the current J-STD-004 plan with the IEC round robin plan to determine the test board preparation procedures, specify the testing protocol and set the timing for the testing.
The 5-24b Solder Paste Task Group reviewed testing of solder balls, paste wetting and tackiness (tack) plus discussed rheometry testing using both parallel plate and spiral pump viscometers.
The 5-24c Solder Alloy Task Group discussed the addition of one more patented lead free alloy to J-STD-006; the best way to address the addition of rare earth elements to lead free alloys and then discussed three IPC TM-650 test methods that will be placed in the 5-24c TG KAVI site for additional discussion by members of the task group.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
