IPC-VT-42/43 hand soldering for through-hole components

IPC has launched two new hand soldering training videos IPC-VT-42/43. These new hand soldering videos demonstrate hand soldering theory and procedures under highly magnified/ideal conditions to visually imprint the proper procedures and practices (Plate 1).

Plate 1 Hand soldering for through-hole components

IPC-VT-42 Hand Soldering for Through- Hole Components

This video covers tools, materials and other workstation practices such as:

  • Personal safety considerations

  • ESO prevention

  • Soldering iron types

  • Temperature selection and heat transfer principles

  • How to avoid thermal damage

  • Tip and solder types! sizes and applications

  • Flux theory and low residue fluxes

  • Wetting principles

IPC-VT-43 Hand Soldering for Through-Hole Components

This video aimed at Through-Hole Soldering and application:

  • Soldering through-hole components on to printed circuit boards and thick boards

  • Tip tinning, tip and tool maintenance

  • Re-heating solder

  • Heat sinks/thermal shunts

  • Cleaning flux residues

  • Solder joint workmanship requirements to IPC- A-610C including:

    • fillet shapes and contact angles

    • cold and disturbed solder

    • Fractures, thermal damage and lifted lands

    • Solder bridging, projections and balls

    • Nonwetting and dewetting

    • Blowholes and pinholes

    • Product classes per J-STD-OO1 C

IPC-VT–42/43, when working in conjunction with IPC-VT-49 The Seven Sins of Hand Soldering and IPC – DRM-40 Thru-Hole Solder Joint Evaluation. Preview all the PC videos at /train.htm
