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 prove they understand the correct way to achieve quality soldered connections.
The IPC J-STD-001 is not a basic hand soldering course. This course requires that participants understand the basic concepts and materials associated with hand soldering and have electronics manufacturing soldering experience. 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.
Participants must be able to read and proficiently interpret the language the class and exams are presented in. Exams are available in limited additional languages upon request. Successful passing of written and practical exams is required to attain certification. Two attempts at any exam are included in tuition paid. Additional charges will apply for more than two exam attempts.
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.
