Good afternoon all,

        We have a rework situation in our facility.  Here goes:

        We have a gull wing component that we have to add a large through-hole
capacitor lead on to one of the IC leads.  Per the 610 requirement,
12.2.5.5, solder may not touch the body of the component of a gull wing
component.  Because this is not a normal build situation, is that a
requirement that has to be met?  It is very difficult to solder this large
lead on to this small lead, making a solid connection, without getting
solder between the lead and body of the IC.  I realize the 610 is a
guideline for us to make decisions.

        So.........  In your opinion, what would you do?  Rework, accept as is,
.....
        I realize the final decision is between us and our customer, but would
like    to hear what others think aobut this.


        Thanks,
