PTH to SMT spacing should be 80-100 thous. any closer will result in bridging. Scott

Many people use the same spacing [and pad designs] as they use for primary side SMT. We don�t. DOWN STREAM SMT-TO-SMT SPACING: In addition to proper orientation, components cannot be immediately upstream of terminations that are to be soldered or b

Can someone point me to a standard, if there is any, or design rule regards with preffared spacing between PTH and SMT pads for LF wave soldering process (SAC alloy)

There's a nice tool on this site - http://www.enhancetechnical.co.uk/ Click on Internet Tools and then the image - brings up a useful interactive tools which helps understand influences on wave solder bridges. Dave

When using high tin solder, doesn't proper specing to avoid the effects of tin whiskers become at least as large an issue as proper specing for defect-free wave solder processing?

It depends on the application what will be considered the biggest issue to avoid (production or longterm reliability). Tin Whiskers are bit of an unknown quantity - but a more realistic problem could be dendritic growth / electromigration forming sho

Thanks for the info so far, but still need a number or a formula to calculate. The site you have point me to can support in a way, but if I want to release a design procedure to our editors, a number will be very helpful. One more issue is what can b
