Using ERSA Ecoselect.
I am curiuos to hear from other selective solder users as to what is the ideal lead lenght for your application on thru hole components. Shorter leads have helped us decrease solder bridges.
We find ours to be from .75 mm to 1.25 mm. This being the measured distance from the bottom of the PCB to the end of the lead.
Most compoenents are either hand cut using templates, or if possible one of our lead cutting machines.
Thanks in advance for your input.
