Subject: [TN] SMD solder voids

IPC-A-610B (issued January 96), chapter 10, covers SMD solder joints, but
only for externally view. 4.2 (fig. 4-15) says: "(...) blow holes, pinholes
(...) are nonconforming process indicators (...)".
But a "nonconforming process" is not the same as a "nonconforming product",
therefore see foreword ("Nonconforming Process Indicator Condition"): "
(...) not affect the form, fit & function of a product (...) the product
affected will be dispositioned Use as is (...) if the company does not have
a documented Process Control system (customer approved, J-STD-001, sic!),
then all Nonconforming Process Indicators must be treated as Nonconforming
Defects (...)" voila!
Enough collective wisdom?
Sometimes I have the impression plane IPC should reevancelicate the short
basic principles of the requirement flowdown for electronic assemblers. The
backbone would be:
* J-STD-001B (soon C) for soldered electronic assemblies.
Based on J-STD-001B (as backbone), table 3-1 - and the up-dates
during the meanstime - for rigid pwb's the bones could be defined as:
* IPC-2221 and IPC-2222 (rigid) and/or(?) IPC-D-279 (SMT) for
design/layout,
* IPC-6011 and IPC-6012 and IPC-A-600E for PWB manufacturer (to refer
on the purchasing spec's!)
Other specifications (fishbones) would be adressed by the standard-inherent
requirement flowdown (IPC-SM-782, IPC-4101, IPC-SM-840, ev. IPC-CC-830 et
al)

PS, to the guru's: there is a litte conflict between IPC-6012 3.11.1 (" ..
0.1% ..") and Appendix A, p. 27, 3.11.1 (".. 9.01% ..), it isn't?
