PCB Quality Specification
PCB Quality Specification
This quality specification applies to all Celestica PCB prototype and production orders. The supplier is required
to comply with all sections of this document. Please contact Celestica before proceeding with the order if a
discrepancy is found between this Q-spec and the applicable drawings and specifications.
A. PART INFORMATION:
-----------------------
B. CARD FINISH:
------------------
The surface finish shall be as noted in the board fabrication data (ie. fab drawing, gerber data, readme file, etc.)
unless specified below in the Special Instructions. If any discrepancy is noted, please contact a member of the
engineering team provided above or the Celestica buyer for resolution.
C. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
-----------------------------
1) When delivering to ASIA sites: Supplier shall provide one set of supplier modified a/w film and one set of
master a/w film in the first shipment.
2) For every shipment the supplier shall complete Section G (First Article/Ship Lot Audit Report) of this
document and provide it along with the Certificate of Compliance. These documents are to be included in a
clearly marked box on the top of the pallet.
4) 2 soldersamples shall be included with each shipment. These samples may be non-functional (rejected for
minor cosmetic defects or opens /shorts) provided that they are representative of the lot and a detailed
description is provided stating the reason for its rejection. These samples may be used for incoming testing to
confirm the quality of the product and to accept/reject the shipment.
5) Contact our engineering if S/M Taiyo PSR4000-Z100 is used since it may be incompatible with fluxes used
within Celestica mfg.
6) DO NOT SHIP X-OUTS (Partially Good Panels) without prior written approval from Celestica Purchasing
Authority.

E. APPLICABLE SPECIFICATIONS:
-----------------------------------
The supplier shall complete the following report after the final inspection. THE SUPPLIER MAY USE THEIR
OWN FORMAT for this report provided that it includes ALL data requested in this section, if this report is used,
pictures of the microsection must be attached.

1) VISUAL INSPECTION
Sample size: A minimum of 50 cards (or panels if cards are panelized) or 1% of the shipment (whichever is
greater) from randomly selected panels in the shipment.
For orders less than 50 pcs, the sample size defaults to the full quantity

2) DIMENSIONS
Celestica considers all dimensions on the print to be critical to the function of the card. Dimensions are to be
checked to the original prints, not to supplier generated artwork or milling programs.
Please include the fabrication drawing used referencing the locations of all dimensions measured and included
in the table below.

Each hole size stated on the fabrication drawing shall be measured at least once. Holes should be measured in
a high current density area. Special tolerances may be stated for press fit holes.

Two measurements (one top, one bottom) on each of 10 randomly selected panels.
Note: Before XRF readings are performed supplier shall measure a calibration reference sample.

Average: _____________
Microsections are to be taken from a group of thermally stressed plated-through holes at the diameter of the
holes, at 90 degrees to the board surface. Boards are to be thermally stressed with a 6X solder float test (500F
solder pot with 10 sec float time for each float) X-section of 6x solder float test board (550 deg F solder pot with
10 seconds immersion time for each immersion).
- 3 samples must be taken diagonally across the board for the smallest via holes on the card including a high via
density area (ie. BGA). A minimum of 6 holes per sample shall be evaluated.
- 1 sample must be taken of the largest plated through hole by volume (ie. connector area) per lot.
- Microsections should also include one hole of each type used in the design (eg. PTH, microvia, blind, buried,
etc.)
A photograph of each hole type microsection (as stated above) must be included in the report.
General inspection for barrel integrity to verify the following conditions meets acceptability criteria:
- Laminate voids
- Registration
- Delamination/Blister
- Resin recession
- Foil/Plating cracks
- Conductor cracks
- Etchback/Smear removal
- Minimum annular ring
- IP Separation
- Wicking
- Lifted lands
- Plating nodules/burrs
- Plating folds

5) IONIC CLEANLINESS
Ionic contamination must be tested before soldermask and also after surface finish is applied.
6) SOLDERABILITY TESTING
Please refer to J-STD-003. Testing is to be performed on both the surface and plated through holes. The pass
criteria means that 95% of the individual pad surface area must wet.
Please include the coupon used for testing or a picture to illustrate the results.
7) CONTROLLED IMPEDANCE
Note: If this board has controlled impedance (as specified on fab dwg), please retain supplier impedance results
and coupons for a period of 24 months.[j1]
8) ELECTRICAL TEST
