The bent ones....... | 2 May, 2000

hi,

I am looking for some guidelines which can tell me when gullwing and finepitch leads are too damamged to repair. Copper gets hard when bent and the electrical resistance increases. When a finepitch component gets dropped a lot of pins need staightening up, but when is a component not worth saving? How do you setup some instuctions the operators can follow?

thanks

Joe ... What is it with you and bent leads, bud???

One angle that you might take is taking to folk that reclaim components from stuffed, but obsolete boards. Try: Chip Pro 10390 E.
