Universal Instruments has a "Through Hole Design Guidelines" document that I
remember that is pretty extensive. I looked for it and found it here:

http://www.jsd.com.ua/354-01.pdf

Go to page 82 and it talks about hole diameters. Guy is right, .010" larger
than the lead diameter for autoinsertion...

It has been a long time but as I recall, our Amistar and Netco insertion
equipment required the hole to be .010" larger than the diameter or diagonal
of the lead.

Guy,

That is one of my arguments against the change to a smaller hole.

Something to consider, machine insertion and the limitation of this type
equipment.

Phil,

Yes, that is correct.

I'm also trying to avoid changing back to machine screw contact sockets.
That is soooo '70s ish.

To clarify, the lead is actually a flat .021" x .010", or something along
those lines, correct?

Subject: [TN] PTH hole size "standards"

7 days until the Fat Man comes visiting.  Yikes!

We recently had a problem with flux residue under a PTH dual inline IC.
The problem appears to be caused by our hole diameter of 0.035" and the
tapered shape of the step in the leads allowing the device to sit closer or
flush with the board causing apparent flux entrapment.

I'm thinking this is more of a process issue of amount of flux, board
orientation in the wash, wash time/temp or DI water quality.

The responsible engineer would like to decrease the hole size to 0.025 to
effectively raise the part above the board.  And he wants to change all the
ICs on this board and most likely all his boards going forward.

So the questions comes up, what is the "standard" hole size for a dual
inline IC, 0.021 wide pin, plated thru hole, 0.062 thick board, OA flux foam
application and RoHS wave solder.

Please add some sanity to my life.
