Soldering electronic components like electrolytic capacitors can be some of the most difficult terms in PCB repair. Electrolytic capacitors, like other components, come in two main formats. 1. Through-hole capacitors have long leads designed to pass

First, we didn't say "electrolytic soft gold with a minimum thickness of 5-8 of Au". We said, "'electrolytic soft gold' thickness 5 to 8uin". FOCUS. ;-) Second, we're unaware of an industry accepted specification that you can reference. IPC-2221

ok I agree there has been a confusion with terminology When you say electrolytic soft gold with a minimum thickness of 5-8 of Au, is there a standard that you spec this from ?

As we mentioned in an earlier response in this thread [Q5], you do NOT want to solder to hard gold. Hard gold is a wear surface. [That's IT, that's the LIST.] If you want to solder to gold, then either use: * IPC-4552 ENIG specification, mentioned

Russ We decided to use a PC-104 brd for a piece of equipment and had to make a "PC-104 Adaptor Brd" as it is affectionately known. The actual PC104 connectors came with what they called a solder system, a flat piece of solder with holes in it that w

90 Knoop. Q2: Thickness is 4 to 10 u" for Au and 300 to 400 u" for nickel A2: This looks like a ENIG spec. Although, the Ni is quite heavy, 150 uin is sufficient for most applications. [IPC-4552 ENIG specification: * Gold thickness of 0.075 - 0.125

We use boots / shunts er wutt ever you call them to protect solderable component surfaces from wave soldering. Not sure how it would work in your case try: * Kinnarney Rubber 450 Main St. P.O.Box 37 Mantua, N.J. 08051 609-468-1320 fax 7438 http://ww

Section 9 of J-STD-001 gives you what you need. Further: * Flattened [coined] lead: http://workmanship.nasa.gov/lib/insp/2%20books/links/sections/files/711.pdf * Flat lug lead: Look for the Package Designator �LT� on page 7 of http://www.allegromicr

What is the spec or true classification for the leads for an Electrolytic capacitor? Is it a : 1)Flattened coined lead??? or 2)Flat Lug Lead??? There is some confusion as to how we should be inspecting & accepting the toe overhang on these per IP

Wow, rocket science with Nasa specs! I like it. I don't see the trick question here, so I'll continue.... IPC simply states over hang of round or flattened (coined) leads is acceptable (class 1, 2, & 3) if it "does not violate minimum electrical c
