IPC Introduces Press-fit Standard for High-Reliability Applications
15. June 2020
Building electronics better starts with standards from IPC. IPC is introducing the newest standard for use in automobile electronics, aeronautics applications, military, and high-reliability electronic products, IPC-9797. The new IPC-9797, Press-fit Standard for Automotive Requirements and other High-Reliability Applications, provides a comprehensive standard for the qualification and acceptance requirements for press-fit technology covering the high-reliability requirements for the electronics industry.
Things to know about press-fit technology covered in the standard:
- Robust connectivity in harsh environmental conditions
- Critical in manufacturing electronic and electro-mechanical components
- Simple to assemble
- Covers thermal zones vs. press-fit zones on the same circuit board
- Characterization, qualification, and acceptance requirements
