Curriculum
Curriculum
Overview
- Advanced selective-soldering training
- Comprehensive real-world instruction from soldering basics to the most challenging selective-soldering scenarios
- Focus on the process (not specific equipment), emphasizing soldering theory/principles applied to selective soldering
What you will learn
- Troubleshooting common-to-difficult solder defects and root causes
- Specialized techniques and parameter combinations using the SSA Challenge Board
- Translating machine parameters to soldering principles
- Defect identification per IPC J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610
- Understanding fluxes and their differences via demonstrations
- DFM considerations for difficult components/board designs
- Identifying new applications for selective soldering
- Understanding machine capabilities for productivity and purchasing decisions
Learning objectives
- Understand selective soldering equipment and process windows
- Develop and optimize selective soldering profiles
- Apply flux, preheat, and nozzle-selection strategies
- Diagnose and correct selective soldering defects
- Balance throughput and quality for through-hole assemblies
Prerequisites
Process or soldering experience is recommended for this advanced course.
- Ability to read and understand technical documents in English
- Visual acuity to distinguish fine detail and color (corrective lenses or magnification permitted)
- Familiarity with soldering or assembly processes
