IPC released a new certification program this past month, the Certified Standards Expert (CSE) program. When someone is certified as a CSE, the certification shows that the individual has demonstrated the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to act as a subject matter expert for a specific IPC standard.
A CSE is different from a Certified IPC Trainer (CIT). CSEs are not trainers and, accordingly, they are not required to train others like current CITs are required to do. Learn all about the CSE new program here or by viewing our informative video.
BEST is now regularly offering the CSE program at our facilities. For information regarding the new training, contact Alex Conley at 224-387-3256.
BEST TapeShapes
The BEST custom-cutting of tape shapes for conformal coating masking will save you time and money. BEST will cut out custom shapes of 3M Type 401 Flexible tape/adhesive. These shapes will then be "fit" onto a sheet either as a single board of pattern or as a step-repeat pattern for conformal coating protection. The advantage of a sheet of custom tape masking shapes is that the coating technician can take note when all the tapes have been pulled off. This will help determine if all of the masked-off areas of the PCB are protected. It is a way to help insure quality control for conformal coating masking tape for smaller lot sizes when die cutting is not economically viable.
