To understand how to implement J-STD-001, Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies and IPC-A-610, Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, we must first understand each individual standard. When we look at IPC's Simplified Standards Tree (FIGURE 1), we see IPC's most widely used standards in the trunk of the tree and the supporting standards in the branches on either side of the trunk. The standards in the trunk tell a story from data transfer and design, to materials and printed board fabrication, and then to printed board assembly. Within the assembly standards, we see J-STD-001 first, followed by IPC-A-610, and this is where the story of using the two documents together starts.
