I found, to do neat Bottom devices - I would pre-bend device leads ahead of time. And I would then trim devices leads, so that they extended just enough up and above the PCB board's top surface before I installed device. Then carefully hold the device against the PCB board's bottom surface - and then slightly and gently, bend each lead - in order to keep device in place. Then sold from board's top!
After a while, I got pretty good at allowing very short device leads, from poking thru on top! Fred FL __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
