Hello, technetts: I am looking for IPC requirements for clinched leads components. According to IPC-A-610 Rev.A the clinched leads angle should be not less than 45 degree and the minimum length was 0.030" for Class 2. The next revision of IPC-A- 610B eliminated any variable requirements for clicnched leads. Now it requires only that clinched leads will not reduce minimum electrical clearance. In our case, we have a batch of boards with DIP component leads that are flush to the board but not shorting to any other traces. Is this acceptable ? Would we have any solderability problems during wave soldering (solder under the clinched lead)? Please, advise. Thanks in advance Stella Neyman Lectron Products 810-608-7289 *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To unsubscribe from this list at any time, send a message to: * * [log in to unmask] with <subject: unsubscribe> and no text. * ***************************************************************************
