Hi Susan,

I posted this earlier on this list on a similar
question. I don't know which of the standards I mentioned are
outdated now (at least MIL-STD-275 - replaced by IPC-D-275 - replaced
by IPC-222x, but this one covers no jumper wires) and I don't know
which standards for the below mentioned "lower" class were used for
the numbers of allowed jumper wires. Some other responses on your
question mention MIL-C-28809, like I did. As Kelly M. Schriver wrote,
it is outdated with (as far we know) no direct replacement. The
wonderful MIL-IPC crossreference from Eric Kalgren mentiones a
MIL-C-28809B, related to  IPC-CM770D.

A customer of mine who manufactures mostly class 2 or 3 products has
(or had) the following procedure:

They define two own classes for PWBs and assemblies. The
"lower" class refers to in-house standards, IEC359 and DIN IEC 326,
the "higher" to MIL-P-46843, -P-55110, -STD-275, -STD-454, and
DOD-STD-2000-1 to -4.

The copy of the jumper wire procedure itself is from 1991, and I
assume they have meanwhile these definitions updated to IPC-222x and
other newer standards.

The "lower" class has the following rules:

a) max numbers of ALL repairs, added components, jumper wires etc. PCB
size in cm^2    number < 100:     5 100-300:  10 300-600:  15 > 600:
 20

b) jumper wires and added components
< 100:     3
100-300:   6
300-600:   9
> 600:    12

The "higher" class allows no repairs.

For repair they refer to IPC-R-700 and MIL-C-28809, but mostly to
other in-house procedures.

Susan, if you reply me offline an tell me which company you are with,
then I can try to ask my customer whether he would be willing to
share the latest revision of his procedure. This should refer to the
latest and valid MIL/IEC/IPC/whatever standards.

Hope this helps.
