What is BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 - Circuit boards about?
BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 is the sixth part of the European standard on circuit boards and circuit board assemblies in multi-series.
BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 specifies the requirements for soldering surfaces on circuit boards. This includes lands and land patterns for surface mounted components and also solderable hole configurations for through-hole mounted components. These requirements are based on the solder joint requirements of the IEC 61191-1, IEC 61191-2, IEC 61191-3, and IEC 61191-4.
Who is BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 - Circuit boards for?
BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 on circuit boards and circuit board assemblies is useful for:
- Manufacturer of circuit boards and circuit board assemblies
- Manufacturers of electronic equipment
- Electrician
Why should you use BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 - Circuit boards?
The circuit board is the building block of most modern electronic devices. The land pattern is the arrangement of pads in surface mount technology used to physically attach and electrically connect a component to a printed circuit.
BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 will help you in selecting the electronic components that fulfill the electrical requirement of the end product. BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 helps to process characteristics of both soldering techniques, different land dimensions are required to form reliable solder joints and accurate placement of components after soldering. BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 helps to avoid the solder bridges on the circuit board. As the terminals are in different sizes and shapes BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 helps to design land patterns according to the size and shape of terminals.
BS EN IEC 61188‑6‑1 will help you in designing the land pattern of circuit boards as it ensures the reliability of solder joints.
