IPC-VT-42/43 hand soldering for through-hole components

IPC has launched two new hand soldering training videos IPC-VT-42/43. These new hand soldering videos demonstrate hand soldering theory and procedures under highly magnified/ideal conditions to visually imprint the proper procedures and practices (Plate 1).

Plate 1 Hand soldering for through-hole components

IPC-VT-42 Hand Soldering for Through- Hole Components

This video covers tools, materials and other workstation practices such as:

• Personal safety considerations

• ESO prevention

• Soldering iron types

• Temperature selection and heat transfer principles

• How to avoid thermal damage

• Tip and solder types! sizes and applications

• Flux theory and low residue fluxes

• Wetting principles

IPC-VT-43 Hand Soldering for Through-Hole Components

This video aimed at Through-Hole Soldering and application:

• •

  Soldering through-hole components on to printed circuit boards and thick boards

• •

  Tip tinning, tip and tool maintenance

• •

  Re-heating solder

• •

  Heat sinks/thermal shunts

• •

  Cleaning flux residues

• •

  Solder joint workmanship requirements to IPC- A-610C including:

  • fillet shapes and contact angles

  • cold and disturbed solder

  • Fractures, thermal damage and lifted lands

  • Solder bridging, projections and balls

  • Nonwetting and dewetting

  • Blowholes and pinholes

  • Product classes per J-STD-OO1 C
