I've soldered a LOT of components to circuit boards and I've always cut
the leads prior to soldering.
I insert the component and flip the board over to see which direction
the runs go from the lead. I bend the lead in the direction of the run,
which serves the purpose of holding the

I guess if you're building something that goes into a spacecraft or is life
support equipment, you want to do everything you can to make the product as
reliable as possible. In most cases, ham gear, especially hand assembled ham
gear, doesn't fall into that category.

I agree, the stated NASA "method" does amaze me.
First, the K2 is not likely to go a space journey.
Components with pre-cut leads may require 3 hands. One to hold the
component, one to hold the soldering iron and another to hold the solder.
I would assume that NASA directive was for

Message-I
Actually one of the important points in soldering with thru-hole
components with plated hole boards is to watch the solder flow as you
solder. You should see the solder wick down into the hole which
minimizes the chances that the lead trimming process will cause a 'shock
wave' that will
When I went to “mil spec soldering school” at Sanders Associates in Nashua
NH back in the 80’s we were taught to install the component and
mechanically secure it BEFORE soldering. This included clipping the leads
of resistors, capacitors, and so forth.
Why?

It is usual for most components to mount on the top side of the board
and solder from the bottom. Splay the leads slightly to keep the
components from falling out when you turn the board over.
For components mounted on the bottom side of the board, I normally put
them in the same
