SMT Rework

This two-day course includes lecture and hands on projects centered on learning the solder skills and techniques of SMT rework. This course is appropriate for individuals with basic soldering skills and familiarity.

Description

The SMT Rework course is designed for companies looking to enhance the skills of their top soldering technicians in the removal and replacement of SMT components. The course is based on updated IPC standards, including IPC-J-STD-001, IPC-A-610, and IPC-7711.

The SMT rework class primarily focuses on hands-on skills, with a small portion dedicated to lectures. Students are guided through a series of tasks where the instructor demonstrates a specific skill, and then students repeat the process until the instructor confirms their mastery through multiple successful removals and replacements.

In addition to hands-on training, the SMT rework course includes a lecture segment covering various materials used in PCB rework, different package types, alloys, fluxes, and solders. It also addresses various hand soldering techniques, site preparation, and reflow methods. 

 Topics Covered: 

  • History of SMT 

  • SMT Component Identification
