(1) part standoff - how far the base of the part rests from the top of the board. Seating plane will rest flush with the board, whether it's the bottom of the part or a lead form. (2) lead length - is the final length of the lead adjustable, so t

IPC may help, otherwise there are many factors: Are the PTH clinched or straight? If straight, what length protrusion? What direction are the parts running thru wave? Is product on a pallet? Not to mention your soldering process: What type of mach

We have a board that requires a .015 - .035" finished lead length which requires us to do mass lead trimming. To this point we've performed this activity on parts with straight leads. We're looking at going to an axial auto-insertion process (outso

Casimir: A comment and a couple questions: * Have you considered a machine that forms component leads to "self-clinch?" With this forming components snap into hole in the boards with the proper finished lead length and requires not trimming after

I have done this in a past life. In my mind this is a step backwards. If all of your parts are placed by hand it will work.You will need to cut at the top of the solder to keep the leads form bending If any parts are auto inserted you will need to c

Mike, Russ is right, no 'normal' wave machine will solder PCB's with 1" long lead length. I have seen waves modified to clear up to 5/8" leads, but the deeper the wave the uglier things get. They get uglier in that a lot more dross is produced, con

Casimir, The Q and other lead trimmers work extremely well if properly used. Blade life is directly proportional to to the height of the cut. There are a few factors that are very important in trimming. You are working with a solid carbide blade whi
