Is this the inside of a plastic shell connector? The flashing debris will cause an insertion/contact issue.

Victor, -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kane, Joseph E (US SSA) Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 7:08 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Connector Mating Surface Flashing My coworker Thomas Cleere has posted a picture titled "Connector with Flashing" to the photo site at: www.ipc.org/technet-photos<http://www.ipc.org/technet-photos> I'll also send a copy to Steve. Anyone seen anything like this? Obviously, our concern is that the excess material will get stuffed down the hole during the mating action, and cause an open. IPC/WHMA-A-620 only cover cracks or tears in this surface, and 610 doesn't address it at all, are any criteria established elsewhere?
