IPC-SMEMA-9851-2007 Mechanical Equipment Interface Standard

Association Connecting Electronics Industries (IPC) and Surface Mount Equipment Manufactures Association (SMEMA). February 2007. 20 p. The SMEMA machine interface standards were developed to facilitate the interface of equipment used in the manufacture of surface-mounted printed circuit boards. This standard is for mechanical and electrical interfaces.
The purpose of this standard is to provide an equipment interface specification for board transfer manufacturing systems of surface-mounted printed circuit boards. This specification provides the minimum requirement that conveyor-to-conveyor equipment shall meet, and does not represent a complete specification for the equipment’s interface. Conformance to the standard may be achieved by the appropriate design of the equipment or by providing special adapters that enable the equipment to meet the standard.
