This self-contained course in rework and repair for electronics is a comprehensive program designed to teach both the logic and skills needed to perform quality, non-destructive repair on advanced electronic assemblies.

The material covered includes accepted PACE repair techniques adopted by government and industry in the United States, Canada, plus over 60 countries around the world.

Course Objective

1: The student will rework and repair through-hole PCB’s observing safety precautions required to use the appropriate tools, solder and flux.

2: The student will rework and repair through-hole PCB’s observing precautions required to eliminate ESD hazards.

3: The student will correctly identify, use, and maintain tools and accessories required to rework and repair through-hole PCB’s.

4: The student will rework and repair through-hole PCB’s demonstrating an understanding of solder, flux, heat transfer and the soldering process.

5: The student will solder wires onto terminals and connector pins.

6: The student will rework discrete components on PCB’s using flush, stress-relief, and vertical mounting and using straight-through, clinched and semi-clinched terminations.

7: The student will rework multi-leaded integrated circuits on PCB’s. 

8: The student will rework multi-lead surface mount devices on mixed technology PCB’s.

9: The student will repair damaged traces on through-hole and flexible PWB’s.

10: The student will repair laminate damage on PCB’s.

11: The student will identify, remove and replace conformal coatings on through-hole PCB’s.
