Hi Technetters:
                                    What are the risks of using a TO-257
package that has glassed sealed leads that were slightly bent  (15 deg
at the base )?  The glass meniscus and a bit more on one side of the
lead was damaged while the leads were being formed. The total thickness
of the glass plug, around the lead, is 50 mils and its radius is 70
mils. Thanks in advance for your inputs.
        Ramon
