What is this PD IEC/PAS 61182-12 - Generic requirements for printed board products about?
PD IEC/PAS 61182-12 discusses generic requirements for printed board assembly products manufacturing description data and transfer methodology. PD IEC/PAS 61182-12 is the 12th part of the PD IEC/PAS 61182 multi-series on generic requirements for the printed board that specifies the XML schema that represents the intelligent data file format used to describe printed board and printed board assembly products with details sufficient for tooling, manufacturing, assembly, and inspection requirements.
PD IEC/PAS 61182-12 provides a format that is used for transmitting information between a printed board designer and a manufacturing or assembly facility. The data is most useful when the manufacturing cycle includes computer-aided processes and numerical control machines. The data can be defined in either English or International System of Units (SI) units. The format is a convergence of the IPC-2511 “GenCAM” and the Valor Computerized Systems “ODB-X” format structure.
Who is PD IEC/PAS 61182-12 - Generic requirements for printed board products for?
PD IEC/PAS 61182-12 on generic requirements for printed board products is useful for:
- Manufacturers of printed board assembly products
- Testers of printed board assembly
- Printed board designers
- Assembly facilities for printed board
Why should you use PD IEC/PAS 61182-12 - Generic requirements for printed board products?
PD IEC/PAS 61182-12 describes the structure of a generic computer-aided manufacturing 258X exchange format. The document specifies data elements specifically designed to establish the information exchange related to the data needed by printed board manufacturing, and assembly including inspection of those products.
PD IEC/PAS 61182-12 series consists of a generic standard (IPC- 2581) that contains all the general requirements. There are seven sectional standards that are focused on the XML details that are necessary to accumulate information in a single file, that addresses the needs of the manufacturing disciplines producing a particular product.
PD IEC/PAS 61182-12 provides information that is used to modify an existing design using the original CAD data information since the changes impact the electrical characteristics that should be maintained. The characteristics represent modifying a design where the Fabrication and Assembly file has been archived by the OEM.
