EDCO 745 CERTIFICATION SCRIPT 2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◍ Class 1 Product.
Answer: General Electronics Product - includes products where the major
requirement is function of the completed assembly.
◍ Verification of Dimensions.
Answer: The actual measurements provided in this document (i.e., specific
part mountings and solder fillet dimensions and determination of
percentages) are not required except for referee purposes.
◍ Disposition.
Answer: The determination of how defects should be treated. These include
rework, use as is, scrap, and repair.
◍ A main goal of the IPC Professional Training and Certification Programs is
to....
Answer: provide an understanding of accept/reject criteria to enhance an
individual's ability and motivation to consistently and correctly apply the
technical discrimination criteria.
◍ Nonfunctional Land.
Answer: A land that is not connected electrically to the conductive pattern
on its layer.
◍ Solder Destination Side.
Answer: The side of the PCB that the solder flows toward in through-hole
technology. The destination is is normally the primary side of the PCB, but
might be the secondary side in some cases.
◍ Cold Solder Connection.
Answer: A solder connection that exhibits poor wetting and that is
, characterized by a grayish porous appearance.
◍ Defect Condition.
Answer: The form, fit or function of the assembly is inadequate for use in its
end use environment.
◍ Examples and illustrations....
Answer: are often grossly exaggerated in order to depict the reasons for this
classification.
◍ Is disposition of individual process indicators required?.
Answer: No, and affected products should be used as-is.
◍ Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
Answer: The rapid transfer of static electric charge from one object to
another of a different potential that was created from electrostatic sources.
◍ Static Sheilding Packaging.
Answer: Prevents an electrostatic discharge from passing through the
package and into the assembly causing damage.
◍ What does a certified IPC specialist training program accomplish?.
Answer: Certified IPC Specialist training programs will train, test and
certify in the correct application of the criteria for all product classes.
◍ Should work areas be kept clean and neat?.
Answer: Yes.
◍ Who dispositions defect conditions?.
Answer: The manufacturer, based on design, service and customer
requirements.
◍ Primary Side.
Answer: The side of a packaging or interconnecting structure (PCB) defined
as primary on the master drawing. This is usually the side with the most
complex or greatest number of components.
◍ A defect for Class 1....
Answer: automatically implies a defect for Class 2 and 3. A defect for Class
