In cooperation with productronica 2015, IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries® is presenting the very popular Hand Soldering Competition in Hall A2, stand 405 at the event.

Hand soldering of high density printed boards demands highly skilled operators to ensure a zero-defect soldering process, and this competition will recognize the best skills in hand soldering complex printed board assemblies. 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-610F Class 3 criteria, the speed at which the assembly was produced and overall electrical functionality of the assembly. IPC-A-610 Master Instructors from IPC licensed master training centers will serve as the judges.
Competition entries will be accepted until October 25 at www.ipc.org/hsc-productronica. Participation is limited and competitors will be selected on a first come, first served basis.
