Good afternoon all, We have a rework situation in our facility. Here goes: We have a gull wing component that we have to add a large through-hole capacitor lead on to one of the IC leads. Per the 610 requirement, 12.2.5.5, solder may not touch the body of the component of a gull wing component. Because this is not a normal build situation, is that a requirement that has to be met? It is very difficult to solder this large lead on to this small lead, making a solid connection, without getting solder between the lead and body of the IC. I realize the 610 is a guideline for us to make decisions. So......... In your opinion, what would you do? Rework, accept as is, ..... I realize the final decision is between us and our customer, but would like to hear what others think aobut this. Thanks, Connie M. Korth Quality Specialist Reptron Mfg.
