Hi 'netters,

We are using a new assembly house who requested that SMT parts be placed
.200 inch away from the places where the cracker boards are connected
together. This is to minimize lead stresses on the SMT parts when the
boards are separated. Is this a usual spacing requirement? Has anyone
experienced lead over stress in this situation? What style of cracker board
attachment minimizes this problem?

Thanks in advance
