Hi Pat! I went through the standard I have here just to be sure I wasn't missing anything, and I couldn't find anything that addresses TIG welding. You are right, the only thing I could find about any sort of welding was ultrasonic welding. I also looked at the section that addresses connector damage and there wasn't anything. Kind regards, -Steve Gregory- -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Diamond, Pat Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 1:32 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] WHMA-A-602 Hi Technetters, can you help? we have a supplier who makes cable harnesses for us, these harnesses have a s/steel elbow at either end which are TIG welded. The supplier says they weld them in accordance with WHMA-A-620, from the information I can gather at the IPC website, this document appears to be for cable fabrication only i.e. crimping/soldering/assembly although Chapter 7 does cover ultrasonic welding. Does the standard also cover TIG? any advice - as always - would be gratefully appreciated, best regards, Pat Diamond ************************************************************************ **** *************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
