PCB process sequence kit

4 November 2015 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

From STI Electronics comes the IPC-A-600 PCB Process Sequence Kit, designed as an aid to individuals teaching the IPC-A-600 Acceptability of Printed Boards training and certification programme or for anyone in need of visual aids to assist with explaining the various steps of the PCB fabrication process.

For many years, IPC-A-600 has set the standard for PCB workmanship quality, giving comprehensive acceptance criteria with full colour illustrations and photographs showing all types of printed board surface and internal conditions. Many of the users of the document and the training programme do not work in the board fabrication process, but may perform audits and incoming inspection. This results in students not being familiar with what the boards look like at the various steps in the fabrication process and makes it more difficult for them to comprehend some of the acceptance criteria.

STI’s kit contains boards that represent various steps in the PCB fabrication process, along with documentation describing the process steps, care and handling instructions. Its compact size makes it easy to use in any environment.
