Subject: Re: [TN] Future SHALLs (IPC-2610)

The drawing revision description block shall identify the specific
changes
made. It is not acceptable to just reference to the Engineering Change
Proposal
(ECP)or other engineering document that initiated the change
***********This is ridiculous. Some changes I've seen require multiple
pages in the ECN or EO (Notice or Order) for the schematic, fab and/or
assembly.  The path should be ECP or ECR (Engineering Change Request)
and then an
approved ECN or EO, with effectivity serial numbers and effectivity
dates, detailed changes and reasons for change.  How the heck does that
fit in a revision block?


The initial release of a design will be given a (-) revision. Subsequent
Revisions will be assigned A,B,C,etc, leaving out I,O,Q,X,S,Z
***********This is not a 'shall'-it is company philosophy.  I've seen
this all over the map.  Revisions 1, 2, 3 or X1, X2, X3 for prototypes
and A. B, C for released...with no "-" in a rev block.

Whenever the drawing, or computer transferrable media, requires a
revision,
The description shall identify whether the revision impacts form, fit,
function
****************When would a change not affect form fit or function?  A
spelling error correction, maybe?

Three fiducials (or registration targets) shall be located on grid and
O each layer of data pattern. Each additional layer or data pattern
shall
have fiducials located at the same points which, shall register with
each other, layer to layer.
*****************First I've heard of each layer.  If I can fit them,
maybe.

The method of excising individual boards shall be included in the
Assembly Pallet description.
******************We leave that up to the buyers.  Some CM assemblers
prefer routed out boards some prefer paneled either rat bites or
v-score.

Unplated through hole patterns, especially tooling and mounting holes
(board mounting holes, interface connector mounting holes, board top
plate/mounting bracket mounting holes, etc.) are generally drilled in
separate drilling operations as one of the last fabrication operations.
They shall be explicitly dimensioned and toleranced, even if they occur
on grid.
********************I agree only insofar as required for inspection.  As
designers we don't dictate the fabrication method or what's first or
last. (Although it helps if you know how they might approach it).  If I
tell them I want a hole at X, Y dimension XX diameter with YY tolerance,
I don't care if they use a laser or a sharpened stick.

The fabrication drawing shall specifically indicate the location for the
date code, fabricator's I.D. and UL marking, user's cage code, ESD
symbol and all other
required traceability markings.
**************This is also ridiculous.  They know what they're doing.
Maybe specify that all markings must be visible after components are
loaded.

A note on the fabrication data set shall specify the acceptable bow and
Twist requirements
***************Agreed

Anyone who writes back can say they helped a standards development
committee!
See how easy this stuff is?

If you are lucky enough to attend APEX/EXPO, wander into a real meeting.
Here are the choices:

****************Just trying to hang on to my job.  They'd throw me out
if I asked to go to APEX.
