Fusion Technology provides operator level training for electrical soldering per IPC/J-STD-001.  This standard is the most common in use for both commercial and military applications.  Many industries require that all soldered assemblies sold to customers be completed by J-STD-001 certified personnel.  The newest revision of STD-001 allows operators to be certified for only the particular types of components being joined, rather than all types of components.   For example, personnel using surface mount components exclusively will not be required to certify for soldering of terminals.

 

     We also provide general soldering training without IPC certification and training to other specifications.

 

    We typically conduct this training at the customer's facility using their soldering stations.  This allows us to reduce the cost per student and keeps your people at work, rather than traveling to an off-site facility.

 

A typical IPC/J-STD-001 soldering certification program will cover the following items: 
-  Soldering techniques

-  Solder fillet size and shape for various components

-  Identification of components

-  PCB inspection

-  Solderability testing

-  Proper use of flux and solder

-  Leaded vs lead-free solder

-  Flux cleaning solvents and technique

      

 

-  Full-color training manuals for each student that are tailored to the

    particular customer's welding and cutting equipment and requirements.

-  Classroom instruction with Power Point presentation

-  Hands-on training for each student on their respective equipment.

    The hands-on training may be individual or performed with pairs or small

    groups.

-  Certification cards

-  Databasing of training records

-  Written recommendations for soldering process improvement.
