Every drone that takes off represents hundreds of components and connections that must operate flawlessly. The requirements for electronics in drones are extreme: vibrations, temperature fluctuations, moisture and electromagnetic exposure test every detail.
That is why leading manufacturers rely on IPC standards, international guidelines that define what ‘quality’ truly means.
From design to maintenance IPC standards play a key role:
- IPC-2221/2222 define the design requirements for printed circuit boards
- IPC-7711/7721 reworking, repairs and modification of assembled PCBs
- IPC-A-610 acceptance criteria for the assembled PCB
- IPC-CC-830 description of conformal coatings used to protect electronic assemblies
