Subject: [TN] current density

Greetings from snowy Indiana -

We are in the process of reviewing all of the test methods associated with
IPC-6012 in an effort to have them updated, if necessary, with the release
of
IPC-6012B.

In Method 2.3.15 Purity of Copper Foil or Plating there is a para as
follows:
4.3.5  Current source capable of supplying a current density based on the
cathode area of at least 0.6A/dm(2).

I don't know what "d" or "m" stand for in this formula.

Can any of you help?

Susan Mansilla
