Hand Soldering Skill Enhancement
This program introduces the basics of soldering in Wires & Terminals, Through-Hole and Surface Mount Technologies. The program is a practical class by using both lead and lead-free solder alloys. Participants will be familiarized with ESD , industry terminologies, and electronic assemblies. Participants will concentrate on Hands-on efforts include the soldering and inspection of components, solder joints and PCB defects. The program is best for those who already have some working experience with soldering.
Who should attend?
Line leaders, Trainers, Operators, Supervisors, Technicians and Engineers from Electronic Industry.
