IPC-VT-SMPS Surface Mount Problem Solving This workshop explains how to recognize and fix most surface mount design and production problems. High yield manufacturing philosophy, identifying problem parts, the impact of soldering technique, processing limitations, vendor qualification procedures, defect tracking and identification techniques to eliminate defect sources are also explained. Supplier qualification of components is a main topic along with a discussion on workmanship standards and in-line process testing of solderability. Also covers high yield manufacturing philosophy, implementing a design checklist, processing limitations on components and materials, reflow soldering considerations, defect analysis, and failure examination after solder joint strength testing.
