Generic Standard on Printed Board Design - Appendix A
A.1 INTRODUCTION
This appendix was developed by the IPC 1-10c Test Coupon and Artwork Generation Task Group and is included in this current document revision as a resource for the design of conformance and qualification coupons. The intent of this document is to provide an overview of the coupon designs, limitations and intended uses. However, this Appendix is not intended to provide a complete set of rules for the design of these coupons. The IPC 1-10c committee recommends that this Appendix be used in conjunction with the IPC-2221 Gerber Coupon Generator located under “Standards Home Page” and “IPC Standards Related Resources” at the IPC Home Page, which uses product board design driven user inputs and outputs Gerber files that are intended to be placed on the fabrication panel. This website also provides the latest version of this Appendix. If conflicts arise or the information provided is incomplete, the design of the coupon features should be in accordance with the associated product board design requirements. Note that etch and solder mask fabrication compensation shall be applied uniformly to both the coupons and product board.
