Hi Carrie! Yep everything is soldered, some of the pins are a half inch long, and there's some with three-quarter inch long pins. I don't think a selective solder machine would be able to get to the pins when they're as long as that...but I'm not real familiar with those machines either. -Steve Gregory- > Selective Solder may be a solution (Vitronic-Soltec and Ersa sell > machines) > > These almost look like press fit connectors with pins that long. > How long do they protrude? > And they are soldered???? > --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
