1 Introduction
1.1 Scope
This standard establishes the procedures to characterize machine placement capability of surface mount assembly
equipment in specification documents, as well as in documentation used to verify a specific machine’s placement
capability conformance to the specification, while maintaining a placement accuracy to placement speed
relationship.
1.2 Purpose
IPC-9850 has been developed to standardize the parameters, measurement procedures, and the methodologies used
for the specification, evaluation, and continuing verification of assembly equipment characterization parameters.
These standardized tools shall be used to develop and report the information called out in this standard.
1.3 Background
With the proliferation of Surface Mount Technology (SMT), placement equipment users have struggled with the
question of which machine will perform best in a given manufacturing environment. The advantage of the SMT
assembly process to rapidly place components in precise alignment to the land patterns on the printed wiring board
(PWB) was the initial yardstick by which machines were selected. Machines that could place components the
quickest and with the least amount of scrap were considered the best.
Initially, the most common evaluation method was placement yield. For this evaluation, a machine is made to
populate a large number of the user product where visible placement errors are counted as defects. Machines with
the least defects and the most robust operation were considered best. The high yield and reliability of modern SMT
placement systems require that very large amounts of data be collected to meaningfully assess yield and reliability.
This standard provides new tools for gauging the yield and reliability of placement equipment yet presents
performance results in the traditional metrics.
In addition to the high yield and reliability expected of modern placement equipment, the SMT assembly process
has become significantly more demanding. Components have decreased in size, component terminations are smaller,
and placement locations have moved closer together. All this while the number of components on the PWB and
product volumes have increased significantly. Placement equipment must now place components more rapidly and
with extreme precision to be financially viable. This has made requirements on placement machines more
demanding.
Historically, placement equipment vendors have selected their own parameters and methodologies to present the
specification of their machines’ throughput and placement capabilities. The many representations of this information
have made the comparison between similar types of placement machines very difficult. To obtain comparable data,
users have been forced to conduct on-location evaluations of various machines under the same conditions. This type
of methodology is very time consuming for users and very capital intensive for suppliers.
This standard simplifies the evaluation process by standardizing the performance parameters that describe the
placement machines’ capabilities. It also couples placement throughput and placement quality so speed and accuracy
parameters are dependent on each other. This standard also specifies the methodologies by which the capability
parameters are measured. This reduces potential user-vendor friction created when the user believes the equipment
is not functioning properly. The methodologies specified herein are consistent and verifiable, thus providing
common-ground-methodologies between users and vendors.
These methodologies were achieved by separating machine performance from the rest of the SMT process variables,
which include paste printing, component quality, packaging type and PWB quality. The speed and quality evaluation
methods of this standard specify that measurements will be made by placement of standardized components into
sticky media on clear glass panels. Experience shows that surface mount equipment must perform well on sticky
media before it can perform well in production. Furthermore, improved process capability on sticky tape usually
translates into enhanced process capability in production. Although this method does not provide information that
can be utilized to perfectly predict production quality, this methodology was selected in order to remove as much of
the variation as possible between facilities, products, process, and operators.
While the ultimate goal is to evaluate a machine’s capability to place components in paste on actual PWBs, it is not
currently possible to make such measurements at the required precision and speed. It is anticipated that future in-line

inspection systems will improve in their ability to measure component location and orientation. In the future it may
become possible to use in-line post-placement (pre-reflow) automatic optical inspection (AOI) systems to measure
the placement machine capabilities.
Due to the convergence of high-speed and fine pitch machines, this standard makes no attempt to separate the two
types of machines. The user is empowered to decide if a particular model is the best solution for the application
based upon the data reported by the supplier.
1.4 Implementation
1.4.1 Characterization Limitations This standard is comprised of a set of parameters that are the lowest common
denominator for surface mount placement equipment. It is be recognized that additional metrics may be of value in
some instances. The collection of parameters selected for this standard comprise the best subset for use as a core set
of requirements to be included with an equipment supplier’s general specification. This core set may change in
future revisions as technology dictates.
In addition, since there are many possible combinations of hardware and software features that are unique to
individual machine types, this standard cannot address every one of them. Such features and options affect the
overall capabilities of specific equipment model and it is left to the user to understand their implications.
Additionally, it is incumbent upon the user to understand the restrictions and leeway provided for each parameter in
this standard so the proper performance conclusions are reached.
1.4.2 Binding Requirements The body of this document is the standard. The word shall is used throughout this
document whenever a requirement is intended to express a provision that is binding. Material in the appendices is
provided only for information and reference.
1.4.3 Test Components Five component types --QFP-100, QFP-208, BGA-228, 1608C capacitor, and SOIC-16 --
were selected to represent the range of component types placed by surface mount equipment. See Table 3-1 and
section 6 for more precise documentation of these component types.
During the verification of a placement machine, one of the goals is to assess the error induced by the placement
machine. To isolate the contribution of the surface mount equipment to the placement error, which is what this
standard intends to hold suppliers accountable for, it is desirable to reduce other effects that may contribute to the
placement error evaluation process. Using nearly perfect components can best reduce the effect of components on
placement error evaluation. Such components minimize the error associated with SMT component-to-component
variation. For instance, 1608C chip capacitors were chosen as test components because the sides of the capacitors
are very precisely and squarely fabricated. Chip resistors were not selected because they are fabricated in a way that
the top edges of the component seen by the vision CMM may not be in good registration with the side or bottom
features of the component used by the placement machines. The electrodes of ceramic chip capacitors are somewhat
problematic because of their bulbous shape.
SOIC-16 integrated circuits were selected as a standard component because of their relatively low cost and sturdy
construction. SOIC-16 components are believed to be representative of a broad class of coarse pitch leaded
components. Almost all SMT placement machines are capable of processing SOIC-16 devices, so this component
makes it possible to compare the performance of the various machine models. Additionally, 1608C Chip capacitors
and SOIC-16s are economically available in tape packaging, which is how most users feed them because it enables
most machines to maximize the placement speed. Both 1608C and SOIC-16 component types must meet the Joint
Electron Device Engineering Council standard (JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, also known as
JEDEC).
Glass slugs are used to present placement machine vision systems with perfect component images that are free of
bent leads and other part imperfections. The glass slugs also allow the inclusion of fiducial markings that the
coordinate measurement machines (CMMs) use to speed up measurements. The slug fiducial markings are measured
by the CMM, instead of the actual slug component features, to represent the location of the slug component feature.
The slug fiducial markings can only be used to represent the position of the slug component feature if the slug has
been United States National Institute of Standards (NIST) certified to that effect. The slug fiducial markings shall
not be processed by the placement machines during the test and are not known to interfere with the normal operation
of the placement machine's vision systems. The clearly defined slug fiducial markings have the benefit of
