IPC-T-50, Terms and Definitions for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits

Warp:  See "Bow"

Bow (Sheet, Panel, or Printed Board): The deviatioin from flatness of a board characterized by a roughly cylindrical or spherical curvature such that, if the product is rectangular, its four corners are in the same plane.  See twist.

Twist: The deformation of a rectangular sheet, panel or printed board, that occurs parallel to a diagonal across its surface, such that one of the corners of the sheet is not in the plane that contains the other three corners.

You can get a free download of IPC-TM-650 Test Method 2.4.22 Bow and Twist from the IPC Web Site.  There are two illustrations the show bow and twist.  Jack

Hi Mike
In Y14.5
Sec. 6.4.1 deals with straightness which references "bow"  (6.4.1.4).
Sec. 6.4.2 deals with flatness.
You are right they are different.
They can be additive.
Good Luck
Mike

                Subject:        [TN] Warpage, Flatness and Surface Profile

                I have a customer with a specification for bare board
warpage, but the part
                also has flatness and surface profile requirements on the
print.  The
                warpage requirement is in the customer's specification,
which also says that
                any print requirements supercede the spec.

                Are flatness and warpage the same thing?  Or are they
additive?  If the
                flatness spec is based on Maximum Material Condition do I
get to include the
                warpage as separate MMC condition that's in addition to the
flatness
                requirement?

                I've never been able to find anything in the ANSI Y14.5 for
warpage, bow or
                twist which are the terms most of us are familiar with.
Can anybody help
                me out here?
