1 Scope
The dielectric withstanding voltage test (Hipot test)
consists of the application of a voltage higher than the oper-
ating voltage for a specific time across the thickness of the
test specimen’s dielectric layer. This is used to prove that a
printed board can operate safely at its rated voltage and with-
stand momentary voltage spikes due to switching, surges,
and other similar phenomena. Although this test is similar to a
voltage breakdown test, it is not intended for this test to cause
insulation breakdown. Rather, it serves to determine whether
the test specimen’s layers have adequate withstanding volt-
age. This document is applicable to thin dielectric materials
such as those defined by IPC-4821.
The results can be indicative of a change or a deviation from
the normal material characteristics resulting from manufactur-
ing, processing or aging conditions. The test is useful for qual-
ity acceptance and in the determination of the suitability of the
material for a given application and may be adapted for pro-
cess control.

3 Test Specimen
3.1 Qualification Testing
For laminate-like capacitor
materials, test specimens
be 50 mm [1.97 in] diameter
circular electrodes (see ‘‘Top Imaged Foil’’ in Figure 1) that
be formed by imaging and then etching the copper foil,
unless otherwise as agreed upon by user and supplier
(AABUS). Spacing between adjacent Top Imaged Foil con-
ductors is recommended to be ≥100 times the dielectric thick-
ness. In order to avoid field gradient and mechanical stress
concentration, which can cause faulty dielectric breakdown,
the Bottom Foil can be either a circle larger than the Top
Imaged Foil or can be a continuous copper sheet. The con-
tinuous copper sheet will be required for very thin capacitor
dielectric layers that are not self-supporting.
For nonlaminate-like capacitor materials, the test specimen’s
Top Imaged Foil can be a size other than a 50 mm [1.97 in]
diameter circle, if this size is not practical or typical. The test
specimen’s Top Imaged Foil size for these nonlaminate-like
materials should be set to the largest size normally recom-
mended for this product (see 5.2.4). The thickness for the test
specimens should be the typical/recommended thickness. A
minimum of five test specimens
be tested for qualifica-
tion.
3.2 Conformance Testing
Test specimens can be the
same as used for qualification testing or can be other sizes or
shapes. For testing in printed board environments, actual
innerlayer power and ground features are typically used,
although other board features or test specimens can also be
used. Please note that adjustments for capacitor plate size are
required in the test procedure (see Section 6).

3.3 Test Specimen Conditioning
All qualification test
specimens
be conditioned at 23 °C ± 3 °C and 50% ±
10% RH for 24 hours, before testing. For conformance test-
ing, such conditioning is optional.
4 Apparatus
4.1 Hipot Test Instrument
A Hipot test instrument is a
piece of equipment capable of supplying a range of DC test
voltages appropriate for the materials under test with adjust-
able ramp rate and hold-time settings. The Hipot equipment
have an adjustable threshold current setting. (see 5.2.4)
The user
ensure that the Hipot test instrument satisfies
the original manufacturer’s technical specifications.
4.2 High Voltage Connections
Contacts (conductor
plates) apply the voltage from the Hipot test instrument to the
test specimen’s Top Imaged Foil and Bottom Foil (see Figure
1). These contacts should not contain sharp points that could
damage either the copper foil or the dielectric layers of the test
specimens.
Dangerous voltages may be present on the test
connections. Use proper machine guarding and/or machine
interlocking.
5 Procedure
5.1
This test method be performed on fresh test
specimens. Hipot testing
be conducted on test
specimens that have previously been exposed to high voltage
levels or other similar testing.
Some dielectrics may show acceptable Hipot results
(i.e., ‘‘Pass’’) after defects have been ‘‘burned out’’ at high
voltage (see Section 6).
5.2
Program the Hipot test instrument with the appropriate
peak voltage, voltage ramp rate, hold time at peak voltage
and current threshold level. These values
be recorded.
5.2.1
The peak voltage should be as specified in the mate-
rial Specification Sheet (see IPC- 4821) under the parameter
‘‘Hipot (Volts DC).’’
5.2.2
For qualification testing, the voltage ramp rate
be 5% of the peak voltage per second, unless otherwise
specified. For conformance testing, the voltage ramp rate
be 5% of the peak voltage per second or AABUS.
5.2.3
For qualification testing, the hold time at peak voltage
be 30 seconds +3 / -0 seconds. For conformance test-
ing, the hold time at peak voltage
be a minimum of 10
seconds or AABUS.
5.2.4
The threshold settings be set to a value greater
than the in-rush current (due to the charging of the test speci-
men) observed when the voltage is increased (see 6.1). Many
commercial Hipot test instruments display the current during
the test. The in-rush current can be determined by setting the
threshold current to a high value and then observing the cur-
rent spikes as the voltage is ramped to the peak voltage. After
several test specimens have been tested and the currents
observed, set the threshold current to be greater than the
highest current observed. For example, if the in-rush current is
20 microamperes and the current at peak voltage is 1 micro-
ampere, set the threshold current to 40 microamperes.
5.3
The test specimen be placed between the con-
tacts of the Hipot test equipment (see Figure 1). Start the
Hipot sequence.
5.4
Upon completion of the test, the Hipot sequence should
include the discharge of the test specimen.
Larger test specimens, with high capaci-
tance density, may take more time than expected to dis-
charge.
5.5 Reporting
The Hipot test instrument indicates either
Pass or Fail of the material under test. A current surge above
the threshold current setting indicates a Failure. This includes
very short term current surges or ‘‘arcs’’ that occur due to the
burnout of defects. Such unacceptable current surges may
also be the result of dielectric failure or manufacturing defects.
For qualification testing, if the test specimen Passes, record
the leakage current per unit area and the passing voltage. If
the qualification test specimen Fails, record the failure voltage
and threshold current per unit area of each test specimen.
For conformance testing, reporting requirements should be
AABUS.
6 Notes
6.1
When the Hipot test instrument voltage changes from
one level to the next higher level during the ramp-up to the
final voltage, the in-rush current will initially surge above the
steady state current because the capacitor is charging. It is
possible that this surge in current could exceed the threshold
