Taming IPC–A–610

When the real soldering defect rate goes down significantly, there often is no reduction in the amount of inspection and touchup. The common cause is IPC–A–610.

Although the intentions are good, IPC–A–610 confuses many users. There's just too much unnecessary and unclear information.

We have spent years creating a reference manual — EMS Reliability Criteria — that streamlines IPC–A–610 and eliminates rejects of reliable product.

 

The unique EMS approach made it easy for personnel at all levels to grasp the science of this critical process and apply the knowledge to many forms of reliability improvements and cost reductions.

 

 

Electronics Manufacturing Sciences offers solder training and certification for all IPC standards — in your plant at very competitive prices.

IPC operator certification tells your customers that the people responsible for your product reliability follow the most widely recognized industry standards. In many electronics product categories such as telecom, defense, aerospace and medical, IPC certification is one of the core requirements. And Electronics Manufacturing Sciences personnel are fully accredited to certify in all IPC soldering standards including aerospace and Space Addendum.

Many organizations can provide IPC certifications. So why should Electronics Manufacturing Sciences be your first choice? Just a few reasons include:

• EMS Science of Soldering©: Only Electronics Manufacturing Sciences can provide Science of Soldering operator education that makes operators far more efficient and increases reliability far beyond what can be achieved with IPC training alone.

• Graduates of Electronics Manufacturing Sciences courses are more productive and their output work better. IPC training provides good basic knowledge of soldering but that is not enough in today’s intensely competitive global market. Science of Soldering does provide the efficiency and reliability essential for success.

• Greater Reliability:  Heat damage from soldering irons is responsible for the majority of component failures. Standard IPC techniques cause heat damage. We developed a unique method for preventing heat damage during hand soldering and repair — regardless of the iron used. This essential technique is available only through Electronics Manufacturing Sciences.

• Reasonable Pricing: Our rates are lower than most other IPC service providers and our prices include Science of Soldering education.

• Cost Reductions: We show our clients how to cut spending on everything from tools to electricity.

• Integration with EMS Science of Soldering engineering and management programs, enhancing plant–wide communication and problem resolution.
