IPC 7711/21, Rework, Modification, and Repair of Electronic Assemblies, is a widely used standard that offers a wealth of industry-approved techniques on through-hole and surface-mount technology (SMT) rework as well as land, conductor, and laminate repair. It covers procedural requirements, tools, materials, and methods for removing and replacing conformal coatings, surfact-mount, and through-hole components. The standard also includes procedures for repairing and modifying boards and assemblies.

Certification in this program gives you the skills you need to restore operation of expensive electronic assemblies, which can reduce the costs and waste associated with scrapping flawed boards and assemblies. The IPC 7711/21 Certified IPC Trainer (CIT) course provides individuals with a portable credential that represents their understanding of the IPC 7711/21.

It is recommended that students have a few years of hand soldering experience.

Training can take place at your location, at a BEST training center location or in the BEST mobile training center.

Topics Covered:

• Product classifications, skill levels, tools and materials
• Basic surface mount and through hole component removal
• Land preparation and component installation
• Primary heating methods: conductive, convective, etc.
• Handling electronic assemblies
• Wire splicing procedures
• Through hole component removal and installation
• Chip and MELF rework procedures
• SOIC/SOT, J-lead and QFP rework
