Benefits of participation
The IPC course will provide an insightful focus on the best practices of hand-soldering. Regardless of whether the end product finds its application in telecommunications or aerospace, every facet of the electronics manufacturing process carries immense significance. IPC plays a pivotal role in aiding the industry to attain world-class, high-quality end products and fosters the assurance of superior quality, reliability, and consistency throughout the electronics manufacturing realm.
Importance of Hand Soldering in Electrical & Electronics Manufacturing
One of the significant processes in printed circuit board assembly is hand soldering. Working on a circuit board, one may have to solder a through-hole component or an SMT component. It is important to know that these solder joints require exact precision. Improper techniques can cause defective solder joints which many times may not be visually detectable. The soldering process varies based on the components being soldered and the specific technique used, but the core of the procedure is largely the same. Adhering to procedures, standards & best practices are the basic concepts for producing high-quality and reliable solder joints.
