Hi Joel! These pins wouldn't be on a PC105 standard assembly would they? Kind regards, -Steve Gregory- Senior Process Engineer LaBarge Incorporated Tulsa, Oklahoma (918) 459-2285 (918) 459-2350 FAX Joel Mearig <[log in to unmask]> Sent by: TechNet <[log in to unmask]> 10/04/2005 10:58 AM Please respond to TechNet E-Mail Forum <[log in to unmask]>; Please respond to Joel Mearig <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask]@SMTP@Exchange cc: (bcc: Stephen R Gregory/LABARGE) Subject: [TN] Hand Soldering Long Gold Pins I have a number of assemblies that have long (0.5") connector pins that must be soldered in the board. The pins must remain gold so at the moment I am trying to hand solder. This is a difficult process. The 0.100" spacing makes it difficult for my production personnel to solder without getting solder on the gold pins. The connectors are double row and there are two beside one another creating a four pin bank of 0.100" spaced pins. Any thoughts on how I can improve this process for the soldering personnel would be greatly appreciated.
