IPC 6012E:2020 PDF Download

IPC 6012E:2020 is a standard that sets the qualification and performance specifications for rigid printed boards. It covers various types of boards, including single-sided, double-sided, multilayer, and metal core boards. The standard addresses requirements related to the final finish and surface plating coatings, conductors, holes/vias, frequency of acceptance testing, and quality conformance. It also includes electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements.

The IPC 6012E standard incorporates several new and expanded requirements, such as back-drilled structures, alternative surface finishes, copper wrap plating, marking inks, solderability testing, plating overhang, microsection evaluation, thermal shock testing, and performance-based testing for microvia structures. This ensures that the printed boards meet the necessary standards for reliable and high-quality performance.

This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with IPC-6011 and supersedes the previous version, IPC-6012D.
