IPC J-STD-001

IPC J-STD-001 – Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies is recognized as the industry standard for soldering materials and processes.

This course covers methodology and application of the requirements of the J-STD-001 as well as its accompanying Space Addendum. This course is split up into 6 modules:
Module 1: Introduction/Overview of J-STD-001
Module 2: Wires & Terminals
Module 3: Through-Hole Technology
Module 4: Surface Mount Technology
Module 5: Inspection Methodology
Module 6: Space Applications

Each module is followed by an exam period where the student’s ability to navigate and exercise the document is challenged. Modules 3-5 also include hands-on exercises where the student incorporates the requirements to actual PCBs and terminals.

After a successful course completion, the student will be certified to work under contracts requiring commercial hardware Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, as well as the Space Applications class.

Certification is portable and is valid for two years. The certificate received by the student is a valid certificate which is traceable to a Master IPC Trainer.

Before certification expires, the student must either return for a retraining class or challenge test to maintain certification.
