Objective 2: Strengthen IPC's Position as the Industry's Worldwide StandardsSetting Organization

1
Objective 2 Strengthen IPC's Position as the
Industry's Worldwide Standards-Setting
Organization

• Strategy 1 Increase penetration of IPC
  standards on a global basis.
• Strategy 2 Evaluate Standards Development
  Process with goal of reducing Standard
  Development time
• Strategy 3 Make a Greater Emphasis to Publish
  Standards/Documents on Leading-Edge Technologies
• Strategy 4 Continue emphasis on increased
  participation in standards committees.
• Objective 1 Global Recognition
• Objective 3 Expand IPCs Reach
• Objective 4 IPC's Global Data Collection

Committee Participation

• What we are doing
• Posters now standards forum
• First timers meetings
• Trade press
• Recognition program

3
IPC Standards Development Forums

• These Forums Provide
• Updates on all subcommittee and task group
  efforts
• Copies of draft documents for review and comment
• A means to promote new participation

4
IPC Standards Development Forums

• BACKGROUND
• Established as a full day forum at Expo 2001
• Presentations made by each General Committee
• Address subcommittee and task group make-up
• Review published documents
• Review status of draft standards
• Encourage attendance and participation at
  meetings
• Forum CDs made available for all attendees
• Repeated at Expo 2002 and 2003

5
What is the D-30 Rigid PWB Committee?

• This IPC forum is focused on Rigid Interconnect
  Technology to dissimulate technical information
  for the preparation of Design Guidelines and
  Performance Standards through specific committees
  and task groups

6
D-31 Rigid Printed Board Design Subcommittee

• Scope establishes the generic requirements
  for the design of organic printed boards and
  other forms of component mounting or
  interconnecting structures. The organic materials
  may be homogeneous, reinforced, or used in
  combination with inorganic materials the
  interconnections may be single, double, or
  multilayer
• D-31B IPC-2221 Task Group
• Responsible for the development and update of
  IPC-2221 Generic Standard on Printed Board Design
  and IPC-2222, Sectional Design Standard for Rigid
  Organic Printed Boards
• Chair - Lionel Fullwood - Wongs Kong King Intl
  Ltd.

7
2221 Task Group Responsibility

• This task group is responsible for the
  maintenance of IPC-2221/2222
• The task group also serves as an oversight body
  to ensure commonality among the sectional design
  standards within the IPC-2220 Design Series

IPC-2221 General PCB
IPC-2222 Rigid
IPC-2223 Flex
IPC-2225 MCM-L
IPC-2226 HDI March 2003
IPC-2224 PC Cards
IPC-2227 Embedded Future Doc.

HOW THE DOCUMENTS WORK TOGETHER
DESIGN SPEC.S
ACCEPTANCE SPEC.S
IPC-6011
IPC-6xxx
IPC-6013
IPC-6012
IPC-6016
9
Document Synergy Example

• Changes have to flow seamless between documents
  e.g. an update to foil thickness charts triggers
  the 2221 Task Group to develop master
  requirements for flow down into other sub
  documents

Changes made to IPC-2221..
require respective updates to IPC-601x
documents...
and ultimately PCB Visual Acceptance such as
IPC-A-600
or the other way around from IPC-601x to
IPC-2221.

Tune In This Week.or, No Rest for The Weary

• The D-31b task group will meet this Wednesday,
  March 26 from 800 am 1000 am in Room Seaview
  A
• We will begin review of designated test coupons
  existing in multiple IPC artwork packages to
  match new design and performance requirements in
  IPC-2220 and IPC-6010 series documents
• Our ultimate goal will be the update of the
  IPC-A-47 artwork package

IPC Standards Development Forums

• Where are we now?
• Forum Attendance Declined Significantly in 2003
• Logistically Difficult to Implement at APEX/EXPO
• Would require multiple days for all committees
• Difficult to schedule in advance of tech meetings

14
IPC Standards Development Forums

• Where are we now?
• IPC staff will continue creation of Forum CD
• Will require annual updates from chairs
• Forum CDs will be available at IPC Bookstore
• Presentations posted on Committee Home Page
• Remains a strong avenue for committee growth
• Can the on-site forum be resurrected in the
  future?
