IPC Releases Updated Cable and Wire Harness Standard
Since its debut in 2002, the A-620 standard has become the most important process, materials and inspection document in the wire processing industry. As a result, it has been updated several times to better meet the needs of cable and wire harness manufacturers.
The latest update was recently released. IPC/WHMA-A-620E, Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies, prescribes practices and requirements for the manufacturing of cable, wire and harness assemblies. It also describes materials, methods, tests and acceptability criteria for producing crimped, mechanically secured and soldered interconnections.
