IPC/WHMA A-620 Certification
Marq-One’s IPC/WHMA A-620 training course reviews requirements and acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies.
What is IPC/WHMA A-620?
Electrical and electronic products have multiple connection points and related assembly activities. Marq-One’s IPC/WHMA A-620 training is an inspection course designed to help identify what is considered acceptable quality workmanship during the assembly of the product. This training complements the IPC/WHMA A610, and will give delegates the knowledge to inspect with confidence.
While delegates should have knowledge of industry language and a basic understanding of cable manufacture, wire harnessing and soldering, there are no specific prerequisites. This course covers the requirements and associated acceptance across multiple product classes.
Crucial for operators involved in the manufacture of cable and wiring harness assemblies, this is a must have for anyone involved with assembly or inspection of cable and wire harness assemblies.
IPC/WHMA A-620 standard is aimed at those who are responsible for manufacturing or inspecting/assessing or assembling cable and wire harnesses.
Job roles that should consider this training are Assembly Operators, Quality Inspectors, Manufacturing Engineers, Production Managers, Goods-in Inspectors, Managers and Senior Leaders who should understand the importance of assembly quality.
