1.2 Purpose This standard describes materials, methods and
acceptance criteria for producing soldered electrical and
electronic assemblies. The intent of this document is to rely
on process control methodology to ensure consistent quality
levels during the manufacture of products. It is not the intent
of this standard to exclude any procedure for component
placement or for applying flux and solder used to make the
electrical connection.
This standard prescribes material requirements, process
requirements, and acceptability requirements for the
manufacture of soldered electrical and electronic assemblies.
For a more complete understanding of this document’s
recommendations and requirements, one may use this
document in conjunction with IPC-HDBK-001 and IPC-A-610.
Standards may be updated at any time, including with the use
of amendments. The use of an amendment or newer revision
is not automatically required.

1.4 Measurement Units and Applications
All dimensions and tolerances, as well as other forms of measurement
(temperature, weight, etc.) in this standard are expressed in SI (System
International) units (with Imperial English equivalent dimensions
provided in brackets). Dimensions and tolerances use millimeters as
the main form of dimensional expression; micrometers are used when
the precision required makes millimeters too cumbersome. Celsius is
used to express temperature. Weight is expressed in grams.
This Standard uses International System of Units (SI) units per ASTM
SI10-10, IEEE/ASTM SI 10 Practice (Section 3) [Imperial English
equivalent units are in brackets for convenience]. The SI units used in
this Standard are millimeters (mm) [in] for dimensions and
dimensional tolerances, Celsius (°C) [°F] for temperature and
temperature tolerances, grams (g) [oz] for weight, lux (lx) [footcandles]
for illuminance.
Note: This Standard uses other SI prefixes (ASTM SI10-10, Section 3.2)
to eliminate leading zeroes (for example, 0.0012 mm becomes 1.2 μm)
or as alternative to powers-of-ten (3.6 × 10³ mm becomes 3.6 m).

1.4.1 Verification of Dimensions
Actual measurement of specific part mounting and solder
fillet dimensions and determination of percentages are
not required except for referee purposes. For the
purposes of determining conformance to this
specification, all specified limits in this standard are
absolute limits as defined in ASTM E29.For determining
conformance to the specifications in this Standard, round
all observed or calculated values “to the nearest unit” in
the last right-hand digit used in expressing the
specification limit, in accordance with the rounding
method of ASTM Practice E29. For example, specifications
of 2.5 mm max, 2.50 mm max, or 2.500 mm max, round
the measured value to the nearest 0.1 mm, 0.01 mm, or
0.001 mm, respectively, and then compare to the
specification number cited.

1.5 Definition of Requirements When the
International Space Station symbol appears next
to a paragraph it indicates that J-STD-001GS
Space Applications Electronic Hardware
Addendum to J-STD-001G contains some
different requirements to this document. The
criteria in J-STD-001GS are not applicable unless
the addendum is specifically required by
procurement documentation.

1.8.1.1 Conductor Diameter The conductor
diameter is the outside diameter of wire, either
stranded or solid, without the insulation.
1.8.1.2 Wire Diameter The wire diameter is the
outside diameter of wire, either stranded or
solid, including insulation if present.

constitute examples for the implementation of
LFCPs/tin whisker mitigation for Aerospace and
other High Performance Electronic Systems.

3.2.2.1 Solder Pot Purity and Maintenance
Dross shall [N1D2D3] be removed from the
solder surface in a manner that assures the
dross does not contact the items being tinned.

If there are any assemblies that contain
components or parts sensitive to ESD, the
Manufacturer shall [D1D2D3] implement a
documented ESD control program in accordance
with ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC 61340-5-1, MIL-STD-
1686, or as agreed between User and Supplier.

to provide a minimum of 0.25 mm [0.01 in]
between the bottom of the component body
and the exposed circuitry.

4.17 Reflow Soldering
IPC-7530 provides guidance on developing an
appropriate profile for wave and reflow
soldering.

4.18 Solder Connection
The primary difference between the solder
connections created with processes using tin-lead
alloys and processes using lead free alloys is related
to the visual appearance of the solder. All other
solder fillet criteria are the same.
Lead-free and tin-lead connections may exhibit
similar appearances but lead free alloys are more
likely to have surface roughness (grainy or dull) or
different wetting contact angles.

Figure 5-10. As an alternative to the wrap criteria
provided in Table 5-5, wire(s) and/or component lead(s)
may be routed straight through the terminal when the
assembly drawing/documentation incorporates
bonding/staking for the wire(s)/lead(s) to the
requirements of Table 5-6. If straight through routing is
utilized, wire(s) or lead(s) shall [A1P2D3] extend beyond

distance is not specified, crazing shall not
[N1D2D3] reduce the distance between the
board edge and conductive pattern by not more
than 50% or 2.5 mm [0.1 in], whichever is less.

10 COATING, ENCAPSULATION AND STAKING (ADHESIVE)
All assemblies shall [N1N2D3] be clean before processing. After
cleaning, prior to processing, assemblies shall [N1N2D3] be handled to
prevent contamination. The material specification/data sheet or other
documented procedure shall [D1D2D3] be followed for mixing and
curing. The material shall [D1D2D3] be used within the time period
specified (both shelf life and pot life) or used within the time period
indicated by a documented system to control age-dated material.
When processing varies from supplier recommended instructions, the
variations shall [D1D2D3] be documented and available for review.
Items exposed to uncured silicone material shall not [D1D2D3] be
used for processing other material. An authorized exception is allowed
only in cases where equipment is used for co-curing processes and the
manufacturer has demonstrated through system tests that non-
silicone material properties have not changed and design
requirements are met. Objective evidence shall [D1D2D3] be
maintained and available for review.

10.5.1.2 Staking – Application - SMT The following criteria apply to surface mount
components only.
a. Components whose longest dimension is their height - The staking material shall
[N1D2D3] be applied to a minimum height of 25% of each individual component’s

individual component. In addition, the top inner surfaces shall [N1D2D3] be bonded
to each other for 50% of the components’ width.
ii. For closely spaced arrays consisting of greater than four components staking
shall [N1D2D3] be applied in the same manner as arrays up to four components, with
the additional requirement that every other internal component shall [N1D2D3] have
their sides staked to the board surface.
b. Components whose longest dimension is their diameter or length (e.g., QFPs)
Rectangular components shall [N1D2D3] be staked with a bead of staking material
placed at each corner of the component. For each bead, the staking material shall
[N1D2D3] contact a minimum 25% of the height of the component body. Slight flow of
staking material under the component body is acceptable provided it does not violate

12.1.2 Visual Inspection The assembly shall [N1D2D3]
be evaluated either by sample based inspection in
accordance with the established a documented process
control plan system, see 12.2, or by 100% visual
inspection, see 1.11. Inspection of soldering and post
solder cleanliness may be performed in the same
operation using Tables 12-1, 12-2, and 12-3 conformal
coating, staking or encapsulation shall [N1D2D3] be
performed after and not combined with, soldering and
cleaning process inspections. Inspection of soldering and
cleanliness shall [N1D2D3] be performed prior to
conformal coating, staking or encapsulation. Inspection
for damage may be combined with solder and/or
cleanliness inspections. Inspection for damage should be
performed prior to conformal coating and as part of the
final inspection process.

1.2 Purpose
Standards may be updated at any time,
including with the use of amendments. The use
of an amendment or newer revision is not
automatically required.

1.4 Measurement Units and Applications This Standard uses International System of
Units (SI) units per ASTM SI10-10, IEEE/ASTM SI 10 American National Standard for
Metric Practice (Section 3) [Imperial English equivalent units are in brackets
forconvenience]. The SI units used in this Standard are millimeters (mm) [in] for
dimensions and dimensional tolerances, Celsius (°C) [°F] for temperature and
temperature tolerances, grams (g) [oz] for weight, lux (lx) [footcandles] for
illuminance.
Note: This Standard uses other SI prefixes (ASTM SI10-10, Section 3.2) to eliminate
leading zeroes (for example, 0.0012 mm becomes 1.2 μm) or as alternative to powers-
of-ten (3.6 × 10³ mm becomes 3.6 m).
1.4.1 Verification of Dimensions Actual MeasurementsFor determining conformance
to the specifications in this Standard, round all observed or calculated values “to the
nearest unit” in the last right-hand digit used in expressing the specification limit, in
accordance with the
• J-STD-001G Draft Document for Industry Consensus Ballot Only January 2017
• 2 | P a g e
• rounding method of ASTM Practice E29, Using Significant Digits in Test Data to
Determine Conformance with Specification. For
• example, specifications of 2.5 mm max, 2.50 mm max, or 2.500 mm max, round
the measured value to the nearest 0.1 mm, 0.01 mm,
• or 0.001 mm, respectively, and then compare to the specification number cited.

1.7.5 (Examples and Illustrations) Definitions of
Requirements
Many of the examples (illustrations) shown are
grossly exaggerated in order to depict the
reasons for this classification.
It is necessary that users of this standard pay
particular attention to the subject of each
section to avoid misinterpretation.

1.5.1.3 Defect Condition
A defect is a condition that may be insufficient to ensure
the form, fit or function of the assembly in its end use
environment. Defect conditions shall be dispositioned by
the manufacturer based on design, service, and customer
requirements.
Disposition may be to rework, repair, scrap, or use as is.
Repair or "use as is" may require customer concurrence.
It is the responsibility of the User to define unique defect
categories applicable to the product.
A defect for Class 1 automatically implies a defect for
Class 2 and 3. A defect for Class 2 implies a defect for
Class 3. (Note this would not be the case where criteria
for a particular class have not been established).

1.8.3 Diameter
Conductor The conductor diameter is the outside diameter of
wire, either stranded or solid, without the insulation.
Wire Wire diameter is the outside diameter of wire, either
stranded or solid, including insulation if present.
1.8.8 Locking Mechanism
A method of securing a mated assembly, e.g., fastener,
connector, either by use of a device integral to the assembly’s
components / parts, e.g., polymer insert, design feature, e.g.,
spring clip, latch, twist detent, push-pull, or by additive
device, material, or process, e.g., thread adhesive, safety wire
that when engaged prevents loosening or disconnection of
the mated assembly.

1.8.13 *Stress Relief
Slack in a component lead or wire that is formed in
such a way as to minimize mechanical stresses.
1.6.11 Wire Diameter
In this document, wire diameter (D) is the outside
overall diameter of conductor wire, either stranded
or solid, including insulation if present. Unless
otherwise specified, criteria in this standard are
applicable for solid wire/component leads or
stranded wire.

1.8.12 Inspection Methodology
Accept and/or reject decisions shall be based on applicable documentation
such as contract, drawings, specifications and referenced documents.
The use of any non-visual inspection methods, other than those already
detailed in Sections 8.3.12 and 8.3.13 are not specifically covered by this
Standard and shall be used as agreed between User and Manufacturer.
The inspector does not select the class for the assembly under inspection, see
1.3. Documentation that specifies the applicable class for the assembly under
inspection shall be provided to the inspector.
Automated Inspection, e.g., AOI, AXI, Technology (AIT) is a viable alternative
to visual inspection and complements automated test equipment. Many of
the characteristics in this document can be inspected with an AIT automated
system. IPCAI-641 "User's Guidelines for Automated Solder Joint Inspection
Systems" and IPC-AI-642 "User's Guidelines for Automated Inspection of
Artwork, Inner-layers, and Unpopulated PCBs" provide more information on
automated inspection technologies.
If the customer desires the use of industry standard requirements for
frequency of inspection and acceptance, J-STD-001 is recommended for
further soldering requirement details.

mm[0.05 in], whichever is less, for component
with greater than or equal to 14 leads or more.

7.5 Jumper Wires
The requirements relative to wire type, wire
routing, staking and soldering requirements are
the same for both haywires and jumper wires.
For the sake of simplicity only the more
common term, jumper wires, is used in this
section; however these requirements would
apply to both haywires and jumper wires.

of the lead is not inspectable

8.3.6 Round or Flattened (Coined) Gull Wing
Leads
Note 6. Side fillet (and corresponding
Dimensions (D) & (Q)) would not form and
therefore is not required on a side where
acceptable side overhang (A) is present.
Note 7. (C) is measured at the narrowest point
of the solder fillet.

beyond the Land Length (S).Violates minimum
electrical clearance.

10.2.2 Laminate Conditions - Blistering and
Delamination
• Blister/delamination exceeds 25% of the distance
between plated-through holes or internal conductors.
• Blister/delamination exceeds 25% of the distance
between plated-through holes or internal conductors.
• Blistering/delamination reduce the space between
conductive patterns below the minimum electrical
clearance

10.2.4 Laminate Conditions – Haloing
• The distance between the haloing penetration and the
nearest conductive feature is not less than the
minimum lateral conductor spacing, or 0.1 mm [0.004 in]
when the minimum lateral conductor spacing is not
specified.
• Defect - Class 1,2,3
• The distance of between the haloing penetration and
the nearest conductive feature is less than the
minimum lateral conductor spacing, or less than 0.1
mm [0.004 in] when the minimum lateral conductor
spacing is not specified.

10.4.2.2 Flexible and Rigid-Flex Printed Circuitry –Delamination/Blister – Flex to Stiffener
Not Established – Class 1
