Workmanship Standards Soldering Instruction for Through-Hole Components, Wires and Terminals
If you want to be proficient in the rework and repair of modern electronics assemblies and printed circuit boards, a great place to start is with through-hole soldering training from Precision PCB Services, Inc.
This STM training course provides a fantastic overview of the best practices associated with successfully soldering through-hole components, wires and terminals. What’s more: The class is based on the industry standards set by the IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries.
Why Through-Hole Soldering Classes Are More Important Than Ever Before
In today’s world, more and more people are placing their trust in devices that are packed with integrated circuits (ICs), printed circuit boards (PCBs) and surface mounted devices (SMDs). And it’s not just computers and smartphones. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the interconnectedness of smart devices, companies and consumers alike are relying on highly complex electronic assemblies — such as those in smart homes — to perform well throughout their lifecycles.
Of course, this reliance means that chips and other surface mounted devices must meet industry standards for workmanship and quality, and it’s critical that their connections — or solders — to their respective circuitries are also completed properly and reliably.
Naturally, when solders break or solder bridges form, a costly device can suddenly be rendered inoperable. And since the costs associated with modern electronic assemblies are increasing by the day, the need for rework and repair technicians who know how to recognize and repair faulty solders has never been more acute.
What Does Through-Hole Soldering Training Consist Of?
Course Description:
This eight-hour course combines lecture, video and hands-on sessions. Topics covered during the course include:
- Soldering techniques for soldering wires to terminals, including through-hole components
- Identification of the different types of solder terminals, connectors and through-hole components
- Solder joint inspection and evaluation according to IPC guidelines
- Proper techniques of wire tinning and stripping
- Various flux considerations
The course covers both lead and lead-free solders. Plus, additional items can be added for customers with specific requirements. The listed price includes all materials. Each student will be provided with a kit board, and various components, including wires, terminals and connectors to practice with.
This class is presented either at our Oroville, CA, facility or at the customer’s facility. A minimum $10,000 charge for 10 students or less applies to any courses held on the customer's property. Additional travel expenses are charged if you need us to travel more than 50 miles to reach you. Any courses that we hold at our facility have no minimum requirement.
All of our courses include a certificate of completion for those who pass the test. Advance payment is required to reserve your class. Accepted payment methods include Diners Club, company check, Visa, American Express and MasterCard.
