Untitled-2

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has released IEC 61191-4:2017. This standard pertains to “Printed board assemblies – Part 4: Sectional specification – Requirements for terminal soldered assemblies,” and is now available on the IEC webstore.

Description: “IEC 61191-4:2017 prescribes requirements for terminal soldered assemblies. The requirements pertain to those assemblies that are entirely terminal/wire interconnecting structures or to the terminal/wire portions of those assemblies that include other related technologies (i.e. surface mounting, through-hole mounting, chip mounting).

Mastering High Voltage: The Importance of Accurate Test Equipment

This whitepaper underscores that precise calibration of high-voltage test gear — especially when measuring 1 kV–150 kV systems — is essential for safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance. It details measurement techniques (voltage dividers, step-down transformers, etc.), the impact of environmental and connection factors on accuracy, and why traceable calibration (e.g. to NIST / A2LA) is a must to ensure consistent, reliable results.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: 

The requirements have been updated to be compliant with the acceptance criteria in IPC‑A-610F.
