INTRODUCTION FOR IPC A610H ACCEPTABILITY OF ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLIES TRAINING
This 2 days training program will provide the participants with knowledge and skills required in understanding all aspects of IPC A610H standards including product classifications, components and solderability accept / reject criteria, defects categories in detail technical perspective.
It gives the participants the knowledge, skills and competence required to negotiate better with QC and customers during a dispute, disagreement or product training on the standards established for the accept / reject criteria conditions.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Program Objective: Enhance knowledge and skills in the following areas.
- Know IPC A610H new inclusions.
- The terminologies, terms and definitions.
- IPC standards and it’s requirements
- Product classifications.
- Form, Fit and Function.
- Accept and Reject criteria of electronic components and solderability in interconnects, packaging and electronic circuits.
- Documents applicable to IPC A610H.
- Expose to close and open book tests, assessment and qualification.
- Establish certification thro qualifying Pre and Post Tests.
- Get qualified in IPC A610H with great negotiating skills with customer on return goods criteria.
- Able to train operators in process standards to maintain product quality.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Engineers, Supervisors, Technicians, Line Trainers, Inspection Operators, Rework Operators, and QA Inspectors.
WORKSHOP METHODOLOGY
Participants will be involved in 60% lectures, 20% PCB components practical and 20% group and team discussions with close book and open book exams.
