IPC-2221 talks to that question, lead diameter to hole
size and its focus is solder joint formation. Sorry, my copy is out on loan. But
connectors can be a little tricky. Some of them rely on the hole help keep them
vertical. Be sure to look at the application notes for the connector as well.
Hi
everyone,
Does anyone know
of an IPC standard that will tell what a plated thru-hole size should be
depending on the diameter of the component that will be inserted. Example
would be a pin header, or a certain wire size. Basically, how much
bigger do you make the hole to accommodate the size needed so that you will
get a good solder joint, and designed well for
manufacturing.
Thanks,
Jim
