Hello Fellow Technetters.

I have little experience with thru-hole technology assemblies, as we build
mainly double sided SMT.

The question I have is:

        Can SO8 /14/16/20 devices be passed thru the wave solder (on the
solder side of the PWB) without solder defects such as bridging?  I have
read about "solder thieves" but have no details.

        Does anyone have experience with wave soldering SMDs that they could
pass along any advice?

Thanks in advance,
