Deepen your expertise
We offer training and online seminars on request. If you would like to be informed about upcoming seminars, please sign up for our newsletter or follow us on LinkedIn.
We use Microsoft teams for our trainings. This allows flexible participation with smartphone, tablet, laptop and PC. Using the chat function, participants can ask live questions and get in touch with the moderation team. After the seminar, you will receive the training materials in digital form.
Solderability test by wetting balance
Application and evaluation
Supply chain issues and the associated component shortages have made solderability testing for components of unknown origin more relevant than ever. This online seminar will cover the following topics:
- conducting solderability tests
- influencing factors
- evaluation of solderability tests
- limitations of the methodology

Objective Evidence through SIR tests
Definition and implementation
The removal of the "1.56 µg/cm2 NaCl equivalent" limit from IPC J-STD-001H requires the demonstration by "Objective Evidence" that the process materials used are electrically safe.
To assist you with this issue, we will address the following topics:
- Why was the old 1.56 µg/cm2 NaCl equivalent limit removed?
- What is meant by "Objective Evidence"?
- How can objective evidence be obtained by SIR tests?
- test laboratory vs. in-house-testing
