As an association and as an industry, we have many milestones and achievements to celebrate. On these pages, read about the vision of the six printed circuit board manufacturers that came together to create the Institute of Printed Circuits in the fall of 1957. Since that day, IPC has been dedicated to removing supply chain obstacles, creating industry standards, and supporting the advancement of the industry.
No matter what changes lay ahead, the strength of our volunteer leadership and commitment to serve the needs of our membership will continue to be the hallmark of IPC for many years to come.

FEATURED ARTICLE
In Search of the Ultimate Instructor
Promoted by Eptac Corporation
We are looking to grow our instructor team. There are many people who might be interested in a career change; such as someone with tribal knowledge of the electronic manufacturing and an interest in teaching this to others, people with teaching skills who can learn the technology, people who are tired of the daily grind of repetitive processes and even people from the industry who have retired and want to keep current about the products being manufactured and have an interest in teaching.
Tech Question of the Week
I'm looking for info regarding IPC recommendations about the minimum copper line width (I think it is normally called "sliver") that may create issues during etching if too narrow.

IPC-A-610, Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies is the most widely used standard published by the IPC. With multiple language versions, it has an international reputation as the source for end product acceptance criteria for consumer and high reliability printed wiring assemblies.
An industry developed and approved program that includes training, certification and instructional materials based on the IPC-A-610 is available to your company. This certification will demonstrate your commitment to customer requirements and greatly assists any company dedicated to ISO-9000 or other quality assurance initiatives.
This training and certification has immediate recognition, legitimacy and value throughout the electronics industry. Thousands of individuals have been trained to be IPC-A-610 Certified IPC Trainers. A comprehensive and technically accurate program, IPC-A-610 Training and Certification provides Certified IPC Trainers with high quality materials and detailed instructional plans for training Application Specialists at all levels, including buyers, sales teams and management.
How the IPC Certification Program Works
IPC-A-610 Training and Certification program has two tiers of instruction. Certified IPC Trainer candidates are sent by their parent companies to receive intensive training on the IPC-A-610 from an IPC authorized certification center. Candidates are certified once they complete their course of study and pass the certification examinations. If they feel they do not need the training course, candidates may opt to take a "challenge test" administered by one of the certification centers. Certified IPC Trainers are provided instructional materials for training Application Specialist in a modular training program. Certified IPC Trainers are considered certified for two years after the course completion date. They must then re-certify at an IPC authorized certification site.

Who Should Become a Certified Trainer
Anyone responsible for the quality and reliability of electronic assemblies should consider becoming an IPC-A-610 Certified IPC Trainer. Trainers and quality supervisors versed in electronic assembly are excellent candidates for A-610 training, as are engineering and manufacturing supervisors with assembly responsibilities.
"An excellent course of study on an excellent document… My students were nervous about testing, but we have had high pass rates and a lot of personal satisfaction gained from participating in the training. Without question, the greatest strength of the program is its relevance: it is used by our operators every day. The program has given the entire facility a much higher level of common knowledge about terminology and important concepts."
~ Bernie Schaeffer, Kimball Electronics Group
