Toe down configuration | 6 July, 2011

Has anyone come across any good visuals for the solderability requirements for component leads with toe-down configuration? IPC-A-610 does not have any visual aids for this category and our inspectors are having a difficult time assessing based solely on the wording - "...minimum heel fillet (F) extends at least to the mid-point of the outside lead bend." Thanks in advance for any input.

Take a picture of one that just barely meets specs. Take a photo of this, either under a scope or with one of those USB scopes. Then use the photo for whatever instructions you provide to the operators.

Look at Section 7.08 SURFACE MOUNT TECHNOLOGY (SMT) BUTT "I" LEADED PACKAGES
