Separate mechanical retention from electrical connection. Connector alignment, solder-side access and heat-sensitive parts influence whether a wave, selective or manual process is appropriate.

Lead insertion and soldering requirements

Use the requirements below to prepare a focused project review. Confirm the work scope, acceptance criteria and responsibility for engineering changes in writing before production is released.

Information to include in your RFQ

  • Finished hole sizes and tolerances
  • Lead length and component standoff
  • Wave or selective solder keepouts

Compare proposals on the same scope

Separate recurring unit cost from tooling, setup and test-development charges. Check what is included in inspection, traceability, packaging and disposition of nonconforming units. Ask which assumptions could change the quoted price or schedule.

Capability confirmation

[NEEDS CLIENT INPUT]: approved process capabilities, equipment, certificates, MOQ and available production lead times for this service.

These requirements describe a purchasing and engineering review, not a verified statement of factory capability.
