HAND SOLDERING FOR THROUGH-HOLE COMPONENTS WITH TRAINING CERTIFICATION—CD-ROM

This interactive training CD-ROM from IPC allows students to learn soldering theory at their own pace—while automating evaluation and testing documentation per ISO requirements. Pretesting, section reviews and a final certification test insure that your students understand and retain the required knowledge before they begin hands-on training.

CD-42/43C explains proper workstation practices, personal safety considerations, ESD prevention, soldering iron types, temperature selection, tip types and applications, heat transfer principles, how to avoid thermal damage, solder types, sizes and applications, flux theory, low residue fluxes, wetting principles, soldering through-hole components onto printed circuit boards, tip tinning, tool maintenance, reheating solder, heat sinks / thermal shunts, residues and solder joint acceptance requirements from soldering thick boards, preheating, cleaning flux IPC-A-610C /J-STD-001C.

Contains approximately 45 minutes of micro/action video and 3D animation (from VT-43/43), as well as pretests, section reviews, certification testing, individual record keeping, and student completion records. Also includes a printable certificate for operators scoring 70% or above on the Training Certification Test. Approximately 90 minutes total training time. 0.15 CEUs.

THE SEVEN SINS OF HAND SOLDERING—CD-ROM

Interactive training CD-ROM designed for experienced hand soldering operators with nasty habits like excess pressure, improper solder heat bridge, wrong tip size, excessive temperature, improper use of flux, transfer soldering and unnecessary rework or repair. CD-49 explores each of these soldering sins—explaining how they create undesirable results—while clearly presenting the proper techniques so the habit can be eliminated.

Adapted from the new VT-49 video…this self-paced training features full motion video, and Pretesting—to determine student knowledge before and after the Chapter Review and Final Evaluation. Records scores, and completion records, giving you immediate, accurate documentation of employee competence. Designed to prevent costly errors and unnecessary rework…the interactive “Seven Sins of Hand Soldering” is the cure for improper soldering techniques that even the most experienced soldering technicians succumb to.This visual training tool can also be used proactively—for new hires—to prevent bad habits before they start.

If you’re serious about quality, this video presentation will be the perfect addition to any company’s continuous education / improvement program. Training Time: Approximately 45 minutes.

IPC-A-610C SURFACE MOUNT WORKMANSHIP STANDARDS—CD-ROM

The 3D images and photography from the “Surface Mount Solder Joint Desk Reference Manual” are now available in an electronic version to run on your PC, or over your company network. Everyone in your facility can now have instant access with the click of a button. No more lost manuals, no more version control problems, no more paper! An electronic “Text Edit” feature allows you to add company-specific text—to customize the criteria to reflect your own in-house requirements. Also includes 3D animations of crucial SM solder joint criteria to use as a training aid. EWS-610-SMT is the first in a series of online acceptance criteria programs. Additional modules such as “Through-Hole Evaluation” and “Cable/Wire Harness Assembly” will be added in the near future—so you can have all of your acceptability requirements for electronic assemblies in one easy-to-use program.
