IPC 2221 Generic Standard on Printed Board Design

    IPC 2221 is a standard developed by the Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits (IPC) that provides guidelines and requirements for the design of printed board assemblies. Printed boards are electronic circuits that consist of conductive and dielectric layers, components, and interconnections. Printed board design involves the selection of materials, layout, fabrication, assembly, and testing of printed boards. IPC 2221 covers various aspects of printed board design, such as electrical, mechanical, thermal, environmental, and reliability considerations.

    Scope and Purpose of IPC 2221

    IPC 2221 is intended to serve as a generic standard that can be applied to any type of printed board design, regardless of the technology, application, or complexity. It provides the basic principles and rules for printed board design, as well as references to other IPC standards that contain more specific or detailed information on certain topics. IPC 2221 does not prescribe how to design a printed board, but rather what factors to consider and what criteria to meet. The purpose of IPC 2221 is to facilitate the communication and understanding between printed board designers, manufacturers, and users, as well as to promote the interchangeability and improvement of printed board products.
