JBC is a Gold Sponsor of the IPC’s Hand Soldering Competition at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2018, which will be held in Nuremberg (Germany) on June 5-7.
The competition will be held at the IPC hand soldering competition Booth 400, Hall 4.
Over three days, participants will compete against each other to build a functional electronics assembly within a 60-minute time limit. Assemblies will be judged on soldering in accordance with IPC-A-610G 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 the judges.

Beginners will follow similar rules as the professionals and will be soldering a printed circuit board assembly which meets their skill level.
