Second Annual IPC Midwest Hand Soldering Competition — Who’s the Best-of-the-Best in the Midwest?
August 22–23
Do you think you have what it takes to win at soldering? Does your company brag about how many IPC Certified Specialists it has on staff? Inquiring minds want to know who the best-of-the-best is in the Midwest. If you think you have what it takes to be the Top Gun of soldering, bring it at the second annual IPC Midwest soldering competition.
Over two days, participants will compete against each other to build a functional electronics assembly within a half-hour time limit. Assemblies will be judged on soldering in accordance with IPC-A-610E Class 3 criteria, the speed at which assembly was produced and overall electrical functionality of assembly. IPC-A-610E Master Instructors will serve as the judges.
Cash prizes of $500, $250 and $100 will be awarded to the top three finalists at the close of the exhibition on Thursday, August 23. In addition, the first place finisher will have bragging rights as the Best Hand-Soldering Technician in the Midwest for 2012! Winner need not be present to win.
The number of participants is limited, so register today. Entries will be accepted until July 20, 2012, or until all spaces are filled.
