Overview

IEC 61360-1:2002/AMD1:2003 is Amendment 1 to Part 1 of the IEC 61360 series - the standard that defines standard data element types (DETs) and an associated classification scheme for electric components. This amendment updates definitions, clarifies principles and methods for class and drawing attributes, and introduces a classification scheme for package outline shapes (referencing IEC 60191-4). The changes improve consistency in naming, coding and drawing identification for component libraries and data exchange.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • New and revised definitions: adds terms such as shape, outline style, package, and drawing to clarify component-package geometry and documentation.
  • Classification of package outlines: package shapes are classified using three characteristics from IEC 60191-4 - outline style, terminal position, and terminal form - organized into five levels (outline style → terminal position → terminal form → terminal variant → optional body variant).
  • Class attributes and limits:
    • Preferred name and synonymous name lengths: 70 characters.
    • Coded name and value code max length: 18 alphanumeric characters.
    • Several “source” and “note” attributes capped at 80 characters.
    • Value meaning for classifying DETs limited to 70 characters.
  • Versioning rules:
    • Version and revision numbering conventions defined; revision resets to 01 when version changes; version numbers indicate major changes.
    • Revision changes are for administrative or editorial updates (notes, remarks, source documents).
  • Drawing specification attributes (new clause):
    • Unique drawing code format: AAANNN (three letters then three digits); certain characters (O, I) excluded; X reserved for local use.
    • Descriptive designator format: XYY-Z-Tnnn-Bmmm, max 17 characters, built from coded names of classification nodes.
    • File name and file format requirements: full file path/extension and allowed formats (bitmap, vector, document formats) noted.
    • Version & revision rules for drawings tied to changes in dimensions and minor edits.

Applications and users

  • Intended users:
    • Component manufacturers, parts-library managers, and semiconductor packaging engineers.
    • CAD/EDA and PLM system integrators, parts database administrators, and standards organizations.
  • Practical uses:
    • Creating interoperable component data libraries with standardized DETs and class codes.
    • Linking component classes to unambiguous outline drawings for procurement, assembly and footprint creation.
    • Ensuring consistent metadata for BOMs, supply-chain exchange and automated parts selection.

Related standards

  • Normative reference added: IEC 60191-4:1999 (coding and classification of semiconductor package outlines) - used as the basis for package shape classification.

5.1 Shape of package outlines for components

The classification scheme for the shapes of package outlines is based on the following three

characteristics of the package according to the codes defined in IEC 60191-4:

– outline style ;
– terminal position;
– terminal form.
Based on these characteristics, five levels of classification are defined as follows:

– level 1: outline style;
– level 2: terminal position;
– level 3: terminal form;
– level 4: terminal variant;
– level 5: body variant (optional).
The specification of each class at the lowest level of the classification tree of the component
package shapes contains an attribute which makes a reference to a unique drawing. This
associated drawing contains the graphical representation of the data element types describing
the characteristic dimension parameters of that specific component package geometry.
Each drawing is unambiguously identified by an identifier. Also associated with each drawing
is a descriptive designator which is derived from the coded name of the relevant class in the
component package classification tree (see 6.1.5).
