Overview

The SIST EN IEC 61189-2-630:2019 standard defines a precise and reliable test method for measuring moisture absorption in metal-clad laminates used in interconnection structures, specifically after conditioning in a pressure vessel. Published by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC) and aligned with IEC 61189-2-630:2018, this standard ensures uniformity and repeatability in evaluating electrical materials used in printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other interconnection assemblies.

Moisture absorption is a critical parameter affecting the durability, performance, and reliability of rigid printed boards. By quantifying water uptake after exposure to elevated temperature and pressure conditions, manufacturers and testing laboratories can assess material quality and predict long-term behavior in electronic applications.

Key Topics

  • Scope: Measures the percent of water absorbed by metal-clad laminates after 1 to 5 hours of pressure vessel conditioning.
  • Test Specimens: Copper-clad laminates cut to standardized sizes (50 mm x 50 mm) and prepared by etching and sanding.
  • Test Conditions:
    • Drying specimens in circulating air oven at 105 °C to 110 °C.
    • Conditioning in a pressure vessel at 103.4 kPa (gauge pressure) over boiling water for predefined durations (1-5 hours).
  • Test Apparatus:
    • Circulating air oven.
    • Pressure vessel (laboratory autoclave) with calibrated pressure gauge.
    • Analytical balance with ±0.1 mg resolution.
    • Desiccator for cooling and stabilizing specimens.
  • Test Procedure:
    • Cleaning and drying specimens.
    • Pre-conditioning weight measurement.
    • Pressure vessel immersion with careful suspension to avoid contact.
    • Conditioning under controlled temperature and pressure.
    • Post-conditioning drying and immediate weighing.
  • Calculation:
    • Moisture absorption percentage calculated by weight difference before and after conditioning.
    • Average moisture absorption computed from four test specimens to ensure accuracy.
  • Reporting Requirements:
    • Detailed documentation including material description, test conditions, recorded data, any surface degradation observed, deviations from the method, and tester information.

Applications

The SIST EN IEC 61189-2-630:2019 standard is essential in fields where high-performance printed circuit boards and interconnection materials are used, including:

  • Electronics Manufacturing: Ensuring PCB laminates meet moisture resistance criteria to prevent failure in service.
  • Quality Assurance: Establishing baseline moisture absorption values for material batches, facilitating material selection and supplier qualification.
  • Reliability Testing: Predicting long-term performance of rigid printed boards under varying environmental stresses.
  • Materials Development: Guiding the design and formulation of new laminate materials with enhanced moisture resistance.
  • Compliance and Certification: Supporting compliance with industry and regulatory standards requiring moisture absorption testing aligned with international norms.

Related Standards

This standard aligns closely with and complements the following:

  • IEC 60194: Defines terms and definitions relevant to printed board design, manufacture, and assembly, supporting accurate interpretation of test results.
  • IEC 61189 Series: A collection of test methods for electrical materials and interconnection assemblies, addressing diverse aspects such as thermal resistance, electrical performance, and mechanical durability.
  • ISO/IEC Directives: Provides guidance on the preparation and maintenance of international standards to ensure consistency and clarity.

By strictly adhering to SIST EN IEC 61189-2-630:2019, manufacturers and testing entities can achieve consistent, repeatable evaluation of moisture absorption in metal-clad laminates, a vital factor impacting the reliability and longevity of electronic interconnection structures. This standard supports the electronics industry's drive for quality, safety, and innovation in printed circuit board materials.
