The PIEK-website is well-known amongst our customers and associates. Always up-to-date, it informs about the latest state of affairs, current training programs, certifications, fairs and all other things that are important to the electronic connectors industry. However, questions and ideas to be answered or discussed in a fast and competent manner often arise.

What’s a professional website without its own “Chatroom” nowadays? Nothing! That’s why we offer you the possibility of having a direct conversation with a real person over the Internet.

IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001 are complementary standards but each has their own special purpose. IPC-A-610 is a visual acceptance standard that uses criteria and illustrations to show how connections should be after the assembly process. IPC-A-610 is intended for use as a visual acceptance standard, and is not related to assembly processes or materials.

It uses illustrations to help operators and inspectors understand its written requirements. It does not invoke the use of any test methods, and most acceptance criteria are relative in nature (they do not require the use of test instruments).

On the other hand, the J-STD-001 is a materials and process requirements standard, and also provides acceptance criteria. J-STD-001 has requirements that must be followed when assembling the product. Building products to J-STD- 001 standards may require the use of test methods to develop data, and the use of tables in the standard to determine the acceptability of the resulting data. It also requires that the assembly processes be defined and followed. When JSTD- 001 is invoked, the use of the wrong material or unacceptable process(es) requires that the resulting hardware be taken away for review by a material review board to determine what corrective action, if any, is to be taken.
