Rich, Yes I am aware of that part. I should have said so in my e-mail. Someone is suggesting for the condition stated that it is relaxed even further! I am not aware of any such provision.

C and section 9.2.5.1 of J-STD-001C. These sections do talk about allowable solder depression (up to a maximum of 25%). But I would also recommend finding out what type of environment the assembly will end up in. High vibratory and/or thermal shock environments may need further review before stating that such solder depression is okay. Hope this helps.

I have no recollection of such a change in A610. But the maybe some of my brain cells are on vacation. Can anyone comment on the statement about hole fill, please? Thanks.
