IPC New Release: A-630 Acceptability Standard for Manufacture, Inspection, and Testing of Electronic Enclosures<https://portal.ipc.org/Purchase/ProductDetail.aspx?Product_code=f074ad7e-092d-e311-a8d0-00155dad3900> This standard is the first of its kind for IPC; the first acceptability standard for electronic enclosures. It contains acceptability criteria that pertain to the "box build" of the assembly process. This standard has been written to direct manufacturers and end users of electronic enclosures of electrical and electronic equipment to understand the best practices to meet requirements, ensuring the reliability and function of the end-item assembly for its intended design life.

This standard is intended for use by both vendor and user. The objective of the solderability test methods described in this standard is to determine the ability of printed board surface conductors, attachment lands and plated-through holes to wet easily with solder and to withstand the rigors of the printed board assembly processes. This standard describes test methods by which both surface conductors (and attachment lands) and plated-through holes may be evaluated for solderability. Revision "C" contains the latest information about gauge repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) of solderability tests as well as updated illustrations. Released October 2013; 27 pages.

Users will better understand the properties of the various conformal coatings, the results to be achieved by its application and how to verify that these goals have been met. Use this document as a supplement in conjunction with the industry standard for qualification and quality conformance of conformal coating, IPC-CC-830B. Revision "A" significantly updates the environmental, health, and safety information when dealing with conformal coatings including advice on use of Web-based MSDS reporting. Use of conformal coating for tin whisker and fungus mitigation is also discussed as well as flammability issues. Content of the standard includes the very latest from industry experts on the application and selection of conformal coatings. Released October 2013; 183 pages.
