CHAPTER 2MINIATURE/MICROMINIATURE (2M) REPAIRPROGRAM AND HIGH-RELIABILITY SOLDERINGLEARNING OBJECTIVESUpon completion of this topic, the student will be able to:1. State the purpose <strong>and</strong> need for training <strong>and</strong> certification of 2M repair technicians.2. Explain the maintenance levels at which maintenance is performed.3. Identify the specialized <strong>and</strong> general test equipment used in fault isolation.4. Recognize the specialized types of tools used <strong>and</strong> the importance of repair facilities.5. Explain the principles of high-reliability soldering.INTRODUCTIONAs mentioned in topic 1, advances in the field of microelectronics are impressive. With every stepforward in production development, a corresponding step forward must be made in maintenance <strong>and</strong>repair techniques.This topic will teach you how the <strong>Navy</strong> is coping with the new technology <strong>and</strong> how personnel aretrained to carry out the maintenance <strong>and</strong> repair of complex equipment. The program discussed in thistopic is up to date at this time, but as industry advances, so must the capabilities of the technician.MINIATURE AND MICROMINIATURE (2M) ELECTRONIC REPAIR PROGRAM<strong>Training</strong> requirements for miniature <strong>and</strong> microminiature repair personnel were developed underguidelines established by the Chief of <strong>Naval</strong> Operations. The <strong>Naval</strong> Sea Systems Comm<strong>and</strong> (NAVSEA)developed a program which provides for the proper training in miniature <strong>and</strong> microminiature repair. Thisprogram, NAVSEA Miniature/Microminiature (2M) Electronic Repair, authorizes <strong>and</strong> provides propertools <strong>and</strong> equipment <strong>and</strong> establishes a personnel certification program to maintain quality repair.The <strong>Naval</strong> Air Systems Comm<strong>and</strong> has developed a similar program specifically for the aviationcommunity. The two programs are patterned after the National Aeronautics <strong>and</strong> Space Administration(NASA) high-reliability soldering studies <strong>and</strong> have few differences other than the administrative chain ofcomm<strong>and</strong>. For purposes of this topic, we will use the NAVSEA manual for reference.The 2M program covers all phases of miniature <strong>and</strong> microminiature repair. It establishes the trainingcurriculum for repair personnel, outlines st<strong>and</strong>ards of workmanship, <strong>and</strong> provides guidelines for specificrepairs to equipment, including the types of tools to use. This part of the program ensures high-reliabilityrepairs by qualified technicians.2-1
