CLASSES OF PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS / MODULE ASSEMBLIES BASED ON IPC
Class 1 : Entertainment
Electronics such as TV , VCD, DVD,
Computers, Mobiles etc.- only basic functioning is the
criteria.
Class 2 : Professional
Electronics such as communication equipment
, sophisticated business machines, instruments and
military equipment – criteria is high level performance
and
extended life.
Class 3 : PCBs’ used
for space ,defence , medical applications
where high reliability , un-interrupted/ continuous
performance is very important. Traceability shall be established for the PCBs
It's intriguing to see how the criteria evolve from basic functionality in Class 1 to the utmost reliability and traceability in Class 3. This classification not only highlights the varying levels of quality and performance expectations but also underscores the importance of precise engineering and manufacturing processes tailored to the intended application of the PCB.
