Hi everyone, I was looking through the IPC book and I may be overlooking this, but is there a requirement that says you must use a J-hook technique when soldering two discrete wires together or soldering a discrete wire to a potentiometer lead? I believe that creating a good mechanical connection is priority #1 and then solder the joint. But, is it ok to just lay the two wire ends on top of each other and solder the joint and same with the potentiometer, is it ok to lay the discrete wire on the potentiometers lead and then solder the joint. If anyone can give me some pro's and con's to both techniques, I would greatly appreciate it. Jim
