Study Notes
Certification Overview
- Certified IPC Trainer (CIT) and Certified IPC Specialist (CIS) certifications expire after 2 years.
- Master IPC Trainers (MIT) are authorized to certify CIT and CIS only.
- CITs have the authority to certify CIS.
Certification Extensions and Requirements
- CITs may grant an extension of certification for up to 90 days if permitted by company policy.
- Module 1 is a prerequisite for IPC 620 CIS certification.
- CIS retesting can occur only after a minimum of 24 hours.
Production Status and Tolerances
- The correct order of production status is: Design, PCB Fabrication, Assembly, Cleaning, and Coating.
- Tolerance for magnification aid is ±15.
- Manufacturers must have a documented calibration system (N1D2D3).
Process Indicators and Conditions
- A process indicator identifies a characteristic that should be monitored but does not affect the form, fit, or function of a product.
- Conditions not specified as defective or as process indicators are considered acceptable.
Workstation Illumination
- Illumination at the workstation's surface should be a minimum of 1000 lumens/m² or 93 foot-candles.
Inspection and Defects
- The inspection magnification range for 22 AWG wires is 1.5X to 3X.
- The IPC-620 standards reflect three product classes:
- Class 1: General Electronics
- Class 2: Dedicated Service Electronics
- Class 3: High Performance/Harsh Environment Electronics.
Insulation and Wire Conditions
- Reducing insulation thickness by more than 20% results in a defect for all classes.
- Damaged wires that meet specified limits are considered process indicators for classes 2 and 3.
- Wire separation exceeding one strand diameter but not beyond the insulation diameter can be acceptable.
Wire and Termination Standards
- The maximum number of damaged strands for Class 2 wires at 6kV or greater is zero.
- Insulation that is charred or melted greater than 50% of the diameter is deemed defective.
- For class 2 crimp terminations, a wire with 20 strands may have up to 3 scraped, nicked, or severed strands.
Twisting and Sleeving Requirements
- Wire twisting in cable bundles should have a length of lay between 8 to 16 times the bundle's other diameter.
- Insulation thickness gaps either less than or greater than specified values lead to different classification outcomes.
Solder Connections and Conditions
- A wire wrapped to a turret terminal with a minimum of 180 degrees is considered a target.
- Insulation displacement connections must not be reworked after making the connection.
Potting and Lacing Guidelines
- Potting materials should not block electrical mating surfaces and must adhere properly.
- Cable lacing should begin and end with a locking knot and follow proper spacing and securing methods.
Length and Orientation Specifications
- A 7-foot cable has a tolerance of +4 inches - 0 inches.
- Marker sleeve wraps must have a minimum of 1.25 times the necessary length for acceptance.
Additional Standards and Acceptability
- Nicks or cuts in insulation post-screen removal are defects.
- Soldering conditions should not interfere with assembly and involve specific tolerances for wire protrusion.
