COURSE DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this course is to present the materials, methods and acceptance criteria for producing soldered electrical assemblies. This course is a mix of lecture and hands-on designed as a certification for experienced solderers to show they understand the correct way to achieve quality soldered connections.
This course is for students who are currently certified in the IPC J-STD-001 but need to renew within 6 months before expiration to keep current in the program without interruption. This course provides a thorough review of procedures and updated information on policies and program requirements, as well as the opportunity to demonstrate hands-on skill proficiency.
COURSE STRUCTURE
CIS students can attend all or some of the following modules, CIT and CSE will attend all:
Module 1 – (mandatory for CIS) Introduction/Overview
Overview of J-STD-001 requirements (the overall introduction and general requirements).
Module 2 – (optional for CIS) Terminal and Post Soldering
Study of the J-STD requirements applicable to the assembly and soldering of Wires and Terminals and practical exercises for development and demonstration of soldering and inspection skills.
Module 3 – (optional for CIS) PCB Requirements & Adhesives
Study the requirements for bare PCB damage along with conformal coating, encapsulation and staking adhesives. This module is required if taking modules 4, 5 & 6.
Module 4 – (optional for CIS) Through Hole Component Soldering
Study of the J-STD requirements applicable to the assembly and soldering of Through Hole connections and practical exercises for development and demonstration of soldering and inspection skills.
Module 5 – (optional for CIS) Surface Mount Component Soldering
Study of the J-STD requirements applicable to the assembly and soldering of Surface Mount components and practical exercises for development and demonstration of soldering and inspection skills. This includes fine pitch soldering.
Module 6 – (optional for CIS) Inspection Module
Study of the theory and application of all inspection requirements of the J-STD-001. This module is designed for students that inspect to the J-STD-001 but do not solder. They will be required to perform an inspection of modules 2-5 assemblies per Class 3 requirements.
