IPC-A-600 vs IPC-6012
If you question yourself if you should use the IPC-A-600 or the IPC-6012, then the question should be what application you want to use it for. If it would be purely to inspect (either the entire board visually or by [...]
Outsourcing IPC courses: a wise choice?
This is what one company says (details known to PIEK): Being a company that regularly orders from assembly companies in the technical interconnect industry, we often discuss outsourcing with our customers. Should we ourselves have all the expertise to educate [...]
Independent trainers a must
The world is a glass house, and this certainly goes for trainers in the technical interconnect industry. Companies often inadvertently hire IPC trainers who work for the competitor. This means that the competitor can get a behind-the- scenes glimpse of [...]
