Skilled competitors go head to head for cash prizes
Skilled competitors will go soldering iron to soldering iron for IPC’s Hand Soldering Competition at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2015, as they compete for cash prizes and a coveted spot at the IPC Hand Soldering World Championship.
Hand soldering of high density printed boards demands skilled operators to ensure a zero-defect soldering process and this contest will recognise the best skills in hand soldering complex printed board assemblies.
Over three days, participants will compete against each other to build a functional electronics assembly within a 45-minute time limit. Assemblies will be judged on soldering in accordance with IPC-A-610E Class 3 criteria, the speed at which the assembly was produced and overall electrical functionality of the assembly. IPC-A-610 Master Instructors will serve as judges.
The cash prizes are €300 for first place, €200 for second place and €100 for third place. The first place winner will also earn a chance to compete against the best hand soldering technicians from around the world at the IPC World Championship at IPC APEX EXPO in Las Vegas, in March 2016.
