Welcome to the association PERFAG
- Forum for printed circuit boards
News...
June 6 2011.
You can now buy the new PERFAG specifications!!.
It will be both easier and simpler to specify and even design PCBs from the many new design pointers. This enables you to design and produce the cheapest and securest way possible.
The specifications PERFAG 1E, 2F, 3D and 4B will be available both as PDF-files and in printed versions. The specifications will be sold exclusively from the PERFAG website. - see "Specifications".
Everyone, who has until now downloaded the free version of PERFAG 4A will be contacted when the new specifications are ready.
PERFAG the history...
PERFAG (now the Association PERFAG) was founded in the late 70s due to continuous issues with the quality in PCB production.
Every electronics company had their own specifications for PCB production which basically described the same areas but made it impossible to confront the supplier if the PCB did not meet the demands.
A group of enterprising people realised that if they were to demand good quality from the PCB suppliers, they would have to join forces. This collaboration was the starting point that has now led to the PERFAG specifications.
You are always welcome to contact us - see "Contact PERFAG".
Rigid-flex PCBs...
All that designs or purchases PCBs, whether it will be rigid-flex, multilayer, double or single sided PCBs, knows how hard it can be to specify the requirements for the supplier.
With the PERFAG specification to back you up neither you nor the supplier have problems identifying the requirements. Should problems against all odds arise, the PERFAG specification helps straighten things out.
Solder problems...
PERFAG is concerned and takes a standpoint on all kinds of issues in regard to PCBs.
Everyone is familiar with problems concerning soldering, bow/twist, problems with holes etc.
With a PERFAG specification to back you up, you know exactly how and what you need to describe to obtain the quality you are seeking.
