SOLDER MASK PER ANSI/IPC-SM-840

SOLDER MASK PER ANSI/IPC-SM-840 | 27 May, 2022

On my PCB fab drawings, I specify SOLDER MASK PER ANSI/IPC-SM-840, should I specify a CLASS rating?

It appears at one time the CLASSES were 1, 2, or, 3. I believe, they are now T or H. Correct?

Thanks, Joe

Correct. Older IPC documents refer to Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. Class 1 => No solder mask; Class 2 => Class T; Class 3 => Class H.
