Fellow TechNetters: Is there an IPC guideline/specification for vertical solder fill for mechanical leads, non-functional, for connectors, Heat Sinks, mechanical hold down strap of passive/active components, etc.. Can the 50 - 75% criteria be used on these solder connections? The same goes for lead protrusion of the leads.
