IPC 610 General Terms Verified|
Latest Update
Acceptable Condition - Answer-This characteristic indicates a condition that, while not
necessarily perfect, will maintain the integrity and reliability of the assembly in its service
environment.
Defect Condition - Answer-A defect is a condition that may be insufficient to ensure the
form, fit or function of the assembly in its end use environment.
Process Indicator Condition - Answer-A process indicator is a condition (not a defect)
which identifies a characteristic that does not affect the form, fit or function of a product.
Conditions Not Specified - Answer-Conditions that are not specified as defective or as a
process indicator maybe considered acceptable unless it can be established that the
condition affects user defined form, fit, function.
Primary Side - Answer-That side of a packaging and interconnecting structure (PCB)
that is so defined on the master drawing.
Secondary Side - Answer-That side of a packaging and interconnecting structure (PCB)
that is opposite the primary side.
Solder Source Side - Answer-The solder source side is that side of the PCB to which
solder is applied.
Class 1 — General Electronic Products - Answer-Includes products suitable for
applications where the major requirement is function of the completed assembly.
Class 2 — Dedicated Service Electronic Products - Answer-Includes products where
continued performance and extended life is required, and for which uninterrupted
service is desired but not critical. Typically the end-use environment would not cause
failures.
Class 3 — High Performance Electronic Products - Answer-Includes products where
continued high performance or performance-on-demand is critical, equipment downtime
cannot be tolerated, end-use environment may be uncommonly harsh, and the
equipment must function when required, such as life support or other critical systems.
