IPC J-STD-001F is recognized worldwide as the sole industry-consensus standard covering soldering materials and processes. this revision includes support for traditional solder alloys and for lead-free manufacturing. Examples of some of the significant changes are revisions to plated-through-hole, PTH, minimum fill requirements; criteria for two new SMT termination types; and expanded conformal coating criteria. Whenever possible, the criteria descriptions have been adjusted to make them easier to understand for materials, methods and verification for producing quality soldered interconnections and assemblies. The requirements for all three classes of construction are included. Full color illustrations are provided for clarity. This standard fully complements IPC-A-610F.
