The original intent was to accomplish what you asked for, comparing apples to apples. Off the top of my head I believe it was IPC-9261. Hope this helps, Mel Mel Parrish Director of Training Soldering Technology International 102 Tribble Drive Madison, AL 35758 256 705 5530 256 705 5538 Fax [log in to unmask] www.solderingtech.com -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Dieselberg, Ron Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 12:57 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] One of our Quality Managers has asked me to quiz the TechNet for information on solder defect rates. We think we are pretty good and want to compare against others in the industry. He has asked for rates for hand soldering and also machine (automatic) soldering. We deal in two basic product lines; IR products and Space/Communications. Any information regarding solder defect rates in the hand soldering and or automatic soldering areas would be appreciated. Thank you. Ron Dieselberg Trainer/Auditor CMC ELECTRONICS CINCINNATI [log in to unmask] [This e-mail is confidential and may also be privileged.
