Hi Megan,

Greetings from a past co-worker but still-present friend!

What kind of THT component are you modifying to place upon SMT pads?  I
can't recall us ever performing such an application, and am just curious.

By the way, if you're indeed mounting to SMT pads, I would say it's safe to
utilize IPC SMT workmanship criteria...

I'd pay particular attention to the lead forming process.  Some THT
components just aren't built for modification, and forming might to
weakening or possibly even a fracture in the leads themselves.

Leland

All, does any one know of what criteria you should inspect a THT component
prepped and placed on SMT pads.Does any of you company's do this? IPC 610
gives you SMT criteria for SMT components & THT  criteria for THT components
.
