All, I am looking for some design guidelines for manual insertion of through hole components. In particular, clearances to allow access for manual insertion. We have a product design that has a large module soldered to the PCB and some through hole components must be installed afterwards that are very close to the module. I would like to find some design standards to prevent this situation in the future. It seems to be an ergonomic issue but I have not been able to find anything in my searches.
