Reading your question precisely, I would answer, all of the wire in contact with the terminal pin has to be covered with solder. If, after dipping it into a solder pot some of it has dewetted, the dewetting criteria would apply. Treat the wrap of transformer wire per IPC A-610 section 6. Also, section 4.8 of IPC-A-620 should address your situation perfectly. > Rainer G.

What I am really asking about is : I have a transformer wire that wraps around a pin and is dipped in a solder pot. How much of the wire has to be covered with solder. There is one turn of the transformer wire wrapped around the pin.
