Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform soldering/desoldering for the installation and fabrication of electrical/electronic components to advanced or military specifications, or where the reliability of electrical connections is critical and where the prevention of damage through electrostatic discharge or other means is required as well as the soldering of electronic surface mount devices (SMD).It applies to work undertaken on equipment where continuous performance is critical, and this includes work to military specifications in a workshop, laboratory or in situ.Where manual soldering for the installation and fabrication of electrical/electronic components and where the reliability of connections is not critical unit MEM05001 Perform manual soldering/desoldering - electrical/electronic components should be selected.Where the interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.Where the selection and use of engineering measuring equipment is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.Where the selection and use of tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools and unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations, should also be selected as appropriate.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 4
