IPC-D-275 figure 4-9 states to ocmes out from the component body 2 diameters
but not less than 0.03 inch. to the biginning of the bend raduis. The bend
raduis is determined by the lead diameter. up to 0.030 inch, R = 0.030. From
0.030 to 0.047 inch, R = 1.5 diameters. Larger than 0.047 inch, R = 2 diameters.
