Which IPC specification will show the minimum clearance from conductive pattern to mechanical hardware such as swage standoffs? Right now I have approximately 0.025in (0.635mm) from via pad edge to standoff lip edge, and want to make certain that distance will be sufficiently robust for production. The manufacturers' datasheets don't specify a recommended clearance, and neither do the IPC-222X series specs. Thanks, ====================== Gary M.
