TechNetters, our manufacturing people have asked me if it is OK to use
spacers to assure proper height of radial leaded components.  They have
been using short wire segments as temporary standoffs, which are removed
after wave solder.  The spacers would stay in place, so the customer would
see them.  I've contacted the customer's engineering for guidance, but
wanted to get TechNet input about the removable wires vs. leave-in-place
spacers.  Thanks for any comments.  Lou Hart
