DIFF Subgroup
H05K 1/182 associated with components mounted in printed circuit boards [PCB], e.g. insert-mounted components [IMC]
Introduced: January 2026
Full Title
Full titles differ between systems:
IPC:
Printed circuits > structurally associated with non-printed electric components > associated with components mounted in printed circuit boards [PCB], e.g. insert-mounted components [IMC]
CPC:
Printed circuits > structurally associated with non-printed electric components (H05K1/16 takes precedence) > associated with components mounted in printed circuit boards [PCB], e.g. insert-mounted components [IMC]
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 3 subcodes exist in both systems.
IPC defines codes here since 2026.
