Course Overview:
The J-STD-001 “Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies” has become the authority for electronics assembly manufacturing. The standard describes materials, methods and verification criteria for producing high quality soldered interconnections. The standard emphasizes process control and sets industry consensus requirements for a broad range of electronic products.
IPC, in conjunction with industry experts, has developed a training and certification program based on the J-STD-001. This program is based on a train-the-trainer model. Companies seeking to create a “IPC J-STD-001 Registered Instructor” sends their candidate to an IPC Approved Certification Center. Prospective registered instructors should have extensive training not only in soldering, but experience and training as well. Instructor candidates who successfully complete the soldering workmanship portions of the course and the certification examination are given the instructional materials needed for training operators. Upon completion of the course, instructors are certified for two years.
Topics Include:
- Instructional skills and the roles of Registered Instructors.
- General requirements, such as safety, tools and ESD.
- Wire and terminal assembly requirements.
- Through hole and SMT requirements.
- General soldered connection requirements.
- Machine and reflow soldering process requirements.
- Test methods and related standards.
- Using statistical process control methodology
This is a 5-day, hands-on course It is an advanced course, designed to teach selected content of the J-STD-001 to experienced solderers. Students will demonstrate soldering skills and complete open and closed book exams. The certification gives individuals valuable recognition of their understanding of the J-STD-001, and allows them to conduct in-house operator training.
Each candidate who successfully completes the instructor training and examination will receive the following materials to conduct further operator training:
- Instructor Guide
- Instructor Workbook
- Set of 35 mm slides
- CD-ROM of visuals
- IPC Handbook 001
- Operator Proficiency Examinations
- J-STD-001 – J-STD-006
- IPC-PC-90
- IPC Certification as a J-STD-001 Registered Instructor
