Printed Circuit Board - (Bare) No Components Installed
International Inspection Standard
About the class:
Course Length: 20 hours
Recertification Course Length: 12 hours
Certification Length: 2 years
This course presents the Internationally accepted Inspection Standards for the (Bare) Printed Circuit Board(s). Revision 'G' includes the Lead-free Inspection & Manufacturing information with the latest technology changes. No one wants to put dozens of expensive components on a defective PCB.
Topics Covered in the IPC-A-600 Certified IPC Specialist Course:
- Printed board product classifications and acceptance criteria
- Base material surface and subsurface conditions, such as measling/crazing
- Solder resist coverage over conductors and registration to lands
- Conductor width and spacing, and annular ring requirements
- Dielectric material criteria for etchback, voids, and resin recession
- Plated-through hole requirements for copper plating thickness, voids, nodules and cracks
- Acceptance criteria for flexible, rigid-flex, and metal core printed boards
- Knowledge to tell the difference between Acceptable & Defect materials
The IPC-A-600 Acceptability of Printed Boards and IPC-6012 Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed Boards documents have set the standard for PCB workmanship quality, giving comprehensive acceptance criteria with full color illustrations and photographs showing all types of printed board surface and internal conditions. Because of its importance to both the PCB manufacturer and assembler, the IPC-A-600 has become one of the most widely used documents ever published by IPC.
The IPC-A-600 Training and Certification Program helps all segments of the electronics interconnection industry improve their understanding of printed board quality issues; greatly enhances communication between PCB manufacturers, their suppliers and their customers; and provides a valuable portable credential to industry professionals as well as recognition for their companies.
Benefits of Certification
Those interested in company-wide quality assurance initiatives have an industry developed and approved, IPC-sponsored program to support their commitment to continuous operations and product improvement. IPC recognition sends a strong message to customers that your company is serious about implementing IPC-A-600.
