-----Original Message----- From: Ken Kopp The following is from a NASA-certified solderer ... me. (:-))
Contrary to the belief/practice of many, component leads protruding through a solder pad should NEVER be cut off flush with the board. They should be cut off at a length that is several diameters of the wire ... at least ... above the board. ------------------------ Above the board or above the top of the solder joint? Why leave wire protruding? - Keith KD1E - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
