IPC-A-610 provides acceptablity guidelines, it is a book detailing acceptance critera. J-STD-001 is a process control document, it is acutally a series of books that provide information about electronic manufacturing processes, methods, materials, and results. Call out the A-610 if you want to specify results.

IPC-A -610 is a very good pictorial reference. If you can not find it there go to your ANSI-J-STD. My understanding is that they are the same only ANSI-J-STD has more detail and less pictures. Confusing than my answer is. I call out IPC-610 than I go to the J-STD if I can't fine what I need. I think 610 is easier for our associates to understand. They have the J-STD but, I'm usually the only one that needs it. Nancy T. >>> [log in to unmask] 10/11/00 02:19PM >>> What is the difference between IPC-A-610 and ANSI-J-STD?
