Manufacturing defects caused by PCB Design
PCB Manufacturers can inspect to IPC-A-600G and assemble to IPC-A-610 however in order for your PCB design to pass, IPC standards should be implemented from the very beginning of the PCB design from padstacks and footprints through to manufacturing. A good starting point for PCB Design is the IPC-2221 and IPC-2222 documents, these form […]
