Practical Components announces that it has added additional test boards and kits for testing for process cleanliness and conformal coating.
The new PCB-B-24 standard test board is compliant with the IPC Phase 3 cleaning and cleanliness test program. It was designed to be a vehicle for examining the interactions between laminate, surface metalizations and fluxes. It is the primary qualification vehicle for ANSI J-STD-004, which is the IPC specification on fluxes.
The four comb patterns are identical and have 16 mil lines and 20 mil space. These values were chosen both for ease of stencil printing solder paste, and the board can be wave soldered with minimal chance of solder bridging.
According to Practical, the PCB-B-24 test board is an excellent vehicle for narrowing down fluxes or solder material, or testing material interaction.
