Help your team enhance product reliability, reduce rework and scrap, and ensure customer satisfaction. This comprehensive overview of process control methodology will empower technicians and engineers to utilize the IPC-A-610 Standard and its associated Handbook to consistently meet acceptance criteria throughout the assembly process.

You’ll use IPC-A-610 to align quality expectations, reduce rework, satisfy customer requirements, and support reliable, high-quality production.

This course is designed to provide designers, assemblers, engineers, and management with a wide overview of PCBA and wire harness manufacturing processes and relevant standards used by industry. Upon completion, participants will be able to: • Understand the structure and purpose of IPC standards in electronics manufacturing. • Navigate the IPC standards library and specification tree. • Identify IPC standards applicable to design, fabrication, assembly, and testing of PCBA and Wire Harnesses. • Explore the standards covering processes and materials for PCB assembly and testing. • Create awareness for special industry segments such as automotive and military standards.

Identify the most common IPC standards used by electronics manufacturers, explain product classes and acceptability conditions as outlined in IPC standards, utilize IPC standards to precisely locate specific acceptance criteria, and use figures, illustrations, tables, and units of measurement to assess compliance.

This course provides a practical introduction to the terms, concepts, and acceptability criteria of the IPC/WHMA-A-620 standard as they apply to the role of the operator.
