IPC-9151, Printed Board Process, Capability, Quality and Relative Reliability (PCQR2) Benchmark Test Standard and Database

Many printed circuit board users have developed internal processes to evaluate the capabilities of their printed circuit board fabricators. Fabricators often receive multiple requests from multiple customers to manufacture test panels as part of qualification procedures.

The PCQR2 process provides an industry standard for the design of these benchmark process capability test panels. The data resulting from this process provides database subscribers with the ability to review detailed results from individual fabricators, and to compare the capabilities of multiple fabricators across the industry.

This document describes this process for evaluating the manufacturing capability of key attributes specified in the design and acceptability standards controlled by IPC.

IPC SMEMA Council is made up of suppliers to the electronics assemblers, particularly equipment manufacturers. It initiates and drives technical, managerial, and financial programs to enhance the working relationships and equipment compatibility within the electronics assembly industry.

SMEMA 1.2 Mechanical Equipment Interface Standard (

74Kb)
The SMEMA machine interface standards were developed to facilitate the interface of equipment used in the manufacture of surface-mounted printed circuit boards. This standard is for Mechanical interfaces.

SMEMA 3.1 Fiducial Mark Standard
This SMEMA standard is for fiducial marks. It was developed to facilitate the accurate placement of components on printed circuit boards. ( 27Kb)

SMEMA 4 Reflow Terms and Definitions ( 15Kb)

SMEMA 5 Screen Printing Terms and Definitions ( 16Kb)

SMEMA 6 Electronics Cleaning Terms and Definitions (as they relate to printed circuit assembly cleaning) ( 28Kb)

SMEMA 7 Fluid Dispensing Terms and Definitions ( 21Kb)
This document is intended to clarify terms used in the area of fluid dispensing. As is often the case, different terms are used by different manufacturers to convey a similar meaning. Common interchangeable terms are shown in parenthesis and the reader should not infer one term is preferred over the other.

SMEMA Standard Recipe File Format Specification ( 372Kb)
The purpose of this specification is to outline the requirements that an SRFF file must meet. The specification describes the file format, outlines the file sections, and indicates how data should be represented through objects. Objects can either be vendor independent (generic objects defined in this document) or vendor specific objects (objects created by a vendor). This document also includes error codes that should be used to report specific information about improperly constructed files. General guidelines for producing an SRFF file and vendor specific objects are also included.

GenCAM Standards Available for Download

GenCAM is documented in IPC-2511A and a series of seven major sectional standards. These are identified as IPC-2510 series. All seven sectional standards, numbered IPC-2512A through IPC-2518A, were released in November 2000. All of the documents can be FREE downloaded here. Additional information is available by accessing the GenCAM website at www.gencam.org. This exciting standardised format is user friendly, easy to read, machine independent, cost competitive and updateable.
