Lead-Free Soldering: Rework

A modular interactive multimedia learning program for rework operators and supervisors responsible for the rework of lead-free electronic assemblies. Objectives Participants successfully completing the course are able to identify and explain: - Concepts of rework and lead-free rework. - Areas of rework affected by transition to lead-free. - Defects more likely to occur with lead-free assembly. - Appearance of acceptable tin/lead and lead-free joints. - Care of soldering equipment and demands of lead-free. - Solder types based on labelling and naming conventions. - Role of flux and the impact of lead-free. - Impact of lead-free on board laminates and finishes. - Maintaining a mixed tin/lead and lead-free facility. - Removal, cleaning, and replacement for through-hole, SMT. - Cleaning procedures after reworking lead-free. - Moisture control in lead-free rework. - Challenges in reworking SMT area-array devices. - Optical and X-ray Inspection for area-array devices. - Temperature issues for area-array devices with lead-free. Qualification and Certification Testing LearnTech® training incorporates interactive learning checks throughout the instructional sequences. Certification tests are criterion-referenced and module-based with feedback on every response for enhanced learning. Administrative access to dates and scores of tests, certifications, and re-certifications is compliant with ISO quality-standards requirements. Standard Compliant This course applies JEDEC Standard JESD97 for Identification of Lead(Pb) Free Assemblies, Components, and Devices. Using the Course - This course is designed to allow participants to learn at a convenient time, and at their own pace. You are free to pursue the course when and where you wish. You will require a broadband Internet connection, and a standard Internet browser with flash plugin. - The course modules are listed in the most logical order for you to follow. However you can take the course modules in any order you wish. - You are licensed to use this course for one year. This means that even after you have completed the course it is still available for review purposes. In review mode you can arrow forward and back through the course material to quickly locate specific content for reference, review, or further study. - Course qualification testing is available. In addition, you can re-take any test if you are not satisfied with your initial result. We recommend: - Take the course and complete all modules. - Take the course test. - Make notes while taking the test to highlight content that proves difficult. - Review the course with additional study of this difficult content. - Retake the test to demonstrate your mastery of the content. Following this process helps you to achieve greater learning and a more accurate test assessment. Course Times The time to complete the course will vary depending on prior knowledge, learning style, and individual differences. The more study and review, the greater the knowledge and understanding, and the higher your mastery test scores. Plan your time accordingly.
