The stress relief for terminal is at 3.2.8.1 of IPC-A-610B for axial leaded parts. At 3.5.1.4 review figure 3-65 and the note below refering to a part in this case a calibration part with leads in the hollow terminal. The stress relief for the axial part is the same as required for a plated through hole installation reference at 3.2.8 Stress Relief. I hope this helps.

The only reference is 3.8.2.1 and they are all side views of terminals. Is there a spec. for stress relief on this application? *************************************************************************** * 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. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe send a message <to: [log in to unmask]> * * with <subject: subscribe/unsubscribe> and no text in the body. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * ***************************************************************************
