As the highest standard in electronics assemblies, class 3 requires the best workmanship in terms of quality, durability, and neatness. Due to the stringent requirements that are in place, class 3 is typically required for many high-end electronic products and other critical assemblies. Predictably, the highest quality assemblies come at a premium. Perfect component placement will require longer build time and additional cost.

All ESD protectiontechniques and products address one or both of the two issues. ESDdamage is the result of electrical energy that was generated fromstatic sources either being applied or in close proximity to ESDSdevices. Static sources are all around us. The degree of staticgenerated is relative to the characteristics of the source. Togenerate energy, relative motion is required. This could becontacting, separation, or rubbing of the material. Most of theserious offenders are insulators since they concentrate energywhere it was generated or applied rather than allowing it to spreadacross the surface of the material. See Table 3-1. Common materialssuch as plastic bags or Styrofoam containers are serious staticgenerators and are not appropriate in processing areas especiallystatic safe/Electrostatic Protected Areas (EPA). Peeling adhesivetape from a roll can generate 20,000 volts. Even compressed airnozzles that move air over insulating surfaces generate charges.Destructive static charges are often induced on nearby conductors,such as human skin, and discharged into conductors on the assembly.This can happen when a person having an electrostatic chargepotential touches a printed board assembly. The electronic assemblycan be damaged as the discharge passes through the conductivepattern to an ESDS component. Electrostatic discharges may be toolow to be felt by humans (less than static 3500 volts), and stilldamage ESDS components. Typical static voltage generation isincluded in Table 3-2. 3.1.3 EOS/ESD Prevention - Warning LabelsWarning labels are available for posting in facilities andplacement on devices, assemblies, equipment and packages to alertpeople to the possibility of inflicting electrostatic or electricaloverstress damage to the devices they are handling. Examples offrequently encountered labels are shown in Figure 3-1. Symbol (1)ESD susceptibility symbol is a triangle with a reaching hand and aslash across it. This is used to indicate that an electrical orelectronic device or assembly is susceptible to damage from an ESDevent. Figure 3-1 610E Fig 3-1 1. ESD Susceptibility Symbol 2. ESDProtective Symbol Symbol (2) ESD protective symbol differs from theESD susceptibility symbol in that it has an arc around the outsideof the triangle and no slash across the hand. This is used toidentify items that are specifically designed to provide ESDprotection for ESD sensitive assemblies and devices. Symbols (1)and (2) identify devices or an assembly as containing devices thatare ESD sensitive, and that they must be handled accordingly. Thesesymbols are promoted by the ESD association and are described inEOS/ESD standard S8.1 as well as the Electronic IndustriesAssociation (EIA) in EIA-471, IEC/TS 61340-5-1, and otherstandards. Note that the absence of a symbol does not necessarilymean that the assembly is not ESD sensitive. When doubt existsabout the sensitivity of an assembly, it must be handled as asensitive device until it is determined otherwise.
temporary storage. 7. Always assume the items are ESDS even ifthey are not marked. 8. Personnel must be trained and followappropriate ESD practices and procedures. 9. Never transport ESDSdevices unless proper packaging is applied 3.3.2 HandlingConsiderations - Physical Damage Improper handling can readilydamage components and assemblies (e.g., cracked, chipped or brokencomponents and connectors, bent or broken terminals, badlyscratched board surfaces and conductor lands). Physical damage ofthis type can ruin the entire assembly or attached components.3.3.3 Handling Considerations - Contamination Many times product iscontaminated during the manufacturing process due to careless orpoor handling practices causing soldering and coating problems;body salts and oils, and unauthorized hand creams are typicalcontaminants. Body oils and acids can reduce solderability, promotecorrosion and dendritic growth. They can also cause poor adhesionof subsequent coatings or encapsulants. Normal cleaning proceduresmay not remove all contaminants. Therefore it is important tominimize the opportunities for contamination. The best solution isprevention. Frequently washing ones hands and handling boards onlyby the edges without touching the lands or pads will aid inreducing contamination. When required the use of pallets andcarriers will also aid in reducing contamination duringprocessing.
Ideally too, this compliance is likely to extend not just to the inspection of the end products, but also to monitoring every process of the build. The best way to achieve this, and to maintain the standards required, will be for them to appoint in-house IPC trainers who will themselves be externally re-certified.
Using this facility candidates get complete hands-on experience with the conformal coating systems and processes without disturbance to production with a full range of systems available to ensure the best learning environment.
Whether you plan to install a conformal coating process or currently use conformal coatings such as Humiseal we can help to develop or optimise your conformal coating process, to ensure you achieve the best performance. SCH can offer expert training in all areas of conformal coating including conformal coating application techniques, conformal coating material selection, optimisation, conformal coating health & safety and trouble shooting conformal coating problems.
We hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy and safe. After carefully analyzing significant global cost increases over the last two years, we find it necessary to implement a slight increase in the price of all IPC certification programs. The increase will take effect on January 1, 2022. We have worked hard to minimize the price increase while continuing to provide the very best products and services for the electronics manufacturing industry.
Since 2013, the IPC India PCB Design Contest has received recognition from PCB Designers & Manufacturers.Since PCB is an important part of electronics and India is looking at more PCB design & manufacturing, the competition has received an overwhelming response from the Indian electronics industry.IPC India PCB Design Contest helps to put the skills of PCB Designers to test and allow them to compete with the best in the industry. 2ff7e9595c
