I would like to expand my PCB assembly capabilities to
include top-side SMT plus top-side though hole.  The
process, as most of you know, is:

Stencil Solder Paste
Pick and Place SMT
Reflow
Autoinsert Through Hole Components
Wave Solder

Bottom side SMT can also be applied before wave.

MY CONCERN: Stress on the topside SMT components /
solder joints resulting from the autoinsert process (or any
other stress).

MY QUESTION: What has been done in this field, what
information is available, what concerns/work-arounds exists,
etc?  How is this best brought online?

Thanks,

Mike
