It is not addressed in IPC-610 because it is a prohibited design issue. IPC-D-279 has the information on component spacing and good design practices, and putting a connector directly on top of anything is not a good design practice, ceramic or otherwise. However, if your customer chooses to do this, all you can do is let them know of the issue and build per their print. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Victor Hernandez Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2015 3:11 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] IPC-A-610 Anymore input to my inquiry.

Look at 7.1.8 and as long as it meets the contract requirements or company requirements it's acceptable.
