Program Description
Students learn to use the latest techniques and tools to ensure high reliability soldering and electromechanical assembly in this multiple part, hands-on program. The Universal Assembly and Repair module covers all aspects of both single and double-sided through-hole circuit board technology, including: high reliability soldering, solder theory, assembly and rework techniques of wire connections, terminals, axial lead, DIPS, flat packs, and multi-leaded components. The surface mount technology assembly and repair module stresses the safe installation and removal of surface mount components, chip, SOT’s, MELF, SOICs, QFPs, and PLCC, using the latest equipment and techniques. Upon satisfactory completion of this program, students will be able to make “accept” or “reject” decisions for the appropriate class/classes of electronic assembly production, based on the acceptability requirements of the IPC-A-610G standard. The IPC-620-C course will train students in modern cabling and harnessing techniques and acceptability requirements of that standard. Students will prepare for the IPC 620 Industry certification. The J-Std-001 course will prepare students to pass the IPC J-Std-001G exam which include both a written and practical element. The Electromechanical Project Assembly course ties all of the program elements together resulting in a project with soldering, mechanical, cabling, safety, cleaning, and handling elements.
