STI Electronics, Inc. announces that it has been awarded its second consecutive NPI Award in the category of Training Materials for its IPC-A-600 PCB PROCESS SEQUENCE KIT. The award was presented to the company during a Tuesday, March 15, 2016 ceremony that took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center during the IPC APEX EXPO. The kit is designed as an aid to individuals teaching the IPC-A-600 Acceptability of Printed Boards Training and Certification Program or for anyone in need of visual aids to assist with explaining the various steps of the PCB fabrication process.
For many years, the IPC-A-600 Acceptability of Printed Boards has set the standard for PCB workmanship quality, giving comprehensive acceptance criteria with full color illustrations and photographs showing all types of printed board surface and internal conditions. Many of the users of the document and the training program do not work in the board fabrication process, but may perform audits and incoming inspection. This results in students not being familiar with what the boards look like at the various steps in the fabrication process and makes it more difficult for them to comprehend some of the acceptance criteria.
The IPC-A-600 PCB PROCESS SEQUENCE KIT contains boards that represent various steps in the PCB fabrication process, documentation describing the process steps, and care and handling instructions. Its compact size makes it easy-to-use in any environment.
Premiering in 2008, the NPI Awards program is an annual celebration of product excellence in electronics surface mount assembly. Premier products based on the finest examples of creative advancement in technology are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry experts.
