IPC-A-600F and IPC-6012A have the same requirements for these features. Table 3-5 of the 6012A may be less verbose But it says the same thing. For Class 3, when the drilled through hole is plated (supported) an external ring shall not be less than 0.002". Measured from the inside of the hole to the outside of the remaining ring. If the drilled hole is not plated (unsupported) then an external ring shall not be less than 0.0059". In any event some further reduction, not more than  20% due to pits, dents, nicks and the like, is acceptable.
 
The internal rings have different requirements. They are described in Clause 3.4.2 in the 6012A and Clause 3.3.1 of the IPC-A-600F. For Class 3, one mil min. measured as shown in Figure 3-1.

Subject: [TN] Hole break out

Fellow TechNetters,

    The QUESTION is for clarification on HOLE BREAKOUT;
   IPC-A-660F sec. 2.10.1.2  -  2.10.4 refers to Annular rings   Supported and Unsupported.

     What is the DIFFERENCE between the two categories.   Does this apply to internal annular for hole breakout?

   Is there another guideline which is more straight forward?


Victor,
