IPC J-STD-001
Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies
COURSE CALENDAR
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 assumes that the students know some of the basic concepts and materials associated with hand soldering. If students have not previously performed soldering activities, additional training will be necessary prior to attending this course. Blackfox recommends our applicable soldering series modules for remedial study.

 

Soldering applications are completed using soldering irons and wire solder.

 

COURSE STRUCTURE

CIS students can attend all or some of the following modules, CIT and CSE will attend all:

 

Module 1 – (mandatory for CIS) 1 day

Overview of J-STD-001 requirements (the overall introduction and general requirements).

Module 2 – (optional for CIS) 1 day 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) 1.5 Hours 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) 1 day 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) 1 day 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) 1 day 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.

 

Note: To certify to Module 1 and 6 only, the learner is required to attend the lecture portion of Modules 2-5 and complete a module 6 written and visual inspection exam.
