Our company is an aerospace supplier, we have traditionally imposed MIL-STD-202, Method 208 for solderability of component leads. The latest revision of 208, H rev, points to using ANSI/J-STD-002. Is anyone in the industry using the J-STD-002 document exclusively without reference to MIL-STD-202? Since our older documentation specifies MIL-STD-202 we would like to change the documentation to specify the J-STD-002 and the new methods for testing described in J-STD-002. How are other industry companies addressing this change from MIL-STDs to Industry Standards for solderability. It would appear that MIL-STD-202 will be replaced by the industry standard, so why not use it exclusively?
