Overview:
The IPC-A-600 program follows a train-the-trainer model. Companies involved in PWB fabrication, assembly, or original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), will benefit by enrolling a representative in this course. Knowledge of acceptance criteria is essential in tracing nonconforming conditions to their origins in the manufacturing process. The IPC-A-600 Training and Certification Program establishes the important relationship between the IPC-A-600 and the IPC-6012, "Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed Boards." IPC-A-600 Training and Certification gives the assembler the skills and information to improve job performance. Knowing acceptable conditions means that boards are not needlessly scrapped; knowing nonconforming conditions saves the assembler from an expensive component mounting operation. Certified Instructors/Inspectors working in electronics assembly can improve their understanding of printed board quality issues and forge a more productive relationship with their PWB suppliers. Anyone directly involved in PWB fabrication, quality assurance, training, or inspection is an excellent candidate.
Who Should Attend:
Manufacturing, process, and quality engineers; lead technicians; and trainers.
Benefits:
- Over 250 full-color, 35mm slides illustrating every aspect of the IPC-A-600 document.
- An instructor guide that gives detailed information for every module of the Worker Proficiency training.
- A printed board sample showing critical external characteristics, such as conductor width and spacing, annular ring, and solder resist registration.
- Open and Closed Book Examinations for IPC-A-600 Worker Proficiency training.
- The IPC-A-600 Acceptability of Printed Boards and the IPC-6012 Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid Printed Boards.

Course Content:
Learn about the following aspects of IPC-A-600:
- 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.
- Skills for teaching the lesson plan effectively.
Duration: Certification - 3 days
