[log in to unmask], 31 Jan 1998 08:19:34 EST551_ISO-8859-1 Hi Dale, From your posting it is not clear whether your client wants to reject the lot because "the coupons on the outer edge of the board were greater than 0.5 inch from the active area of the board as specified by IPC 275" or because there is "a random etchback problem" in the boards. The impression given is that it is the former. If that is the case than this is pretty 'legalistic' and not based on technichal insight. If you look at Figure 7-1 of IPC-D-275 you will see that the coupon location is given as "0.250"/0.500" TYP", [...]38_31Jan199808:19:

[log in to unmask], 31 Jan 1998 10:32:55 -0600619_us-ascii The coupon issue of IPC-D-275 has long been a issue with me as a bare board manufacturer. Many instances I have been in discussions where this standard is quoted in reference as to how a board is manufactured. To this date, I believe the scope of this documents still limits this document to board design and not manufacturing. However, there are sections within this document that directly influences if not outright specify manufacturing requirements. Such as in the case cited in Werner Engelmaier response regarding the placement of coupons on a panel where he cited the requirements of 7.3.1.

Z-axis expansion is probably going to be an issue with this board unless
you use a material with Tg>170 deg. You can also do some things with the
plating to provide the best tensile/elongation strength possible. (Panel
plating, lower amperage, etc.) but the Z-axis expansion is the critical
factor here.
Have a good day, [...]53_31Jan199810:57:

Seems like a drag to toss boards because of this. Even if you had to use a
percentage of the boards for destructive testing, as in providing
validation boards, it would be better than scrapping them.
Have a good day.
