Hi Allen,
I would like to help you but I'm not sure about your question.
Please give a little more information.
1. What side of the PCB
2. Plated through or not
3. Joint = Solder thickness yes
4. What page are you looking on

Your question is how thick can the solder be from the pad to 
the lead.
Please open the attachment and let me know if this is what your 
are asking.
Jack Crawford will know I'm sure
Or e-mail me

Technetters,
I've been searching through the IPC-A-610: Acceptability of Electronic
Assemblies Guidelines, and can't find anything on guidelines for maximum
joint thickness (from the pad to the lead). The manual refers to as the "G"
dimension, which clearly identifies the minimum thickness'.  Does anyone
know of guideline for this and where it's stated?  I'm looking for a round
lead in particular.

Thanks in advance.
