We received a question: **Is there a standard for the height of the solder in soldering?**

The answer is:

Yes, we follow IPC for soldering height. The callout is different for each type of component.

Below examples for your reference:

1. For rectangular or square end chip components (1,2,3, or 5 side termination)  

2. For BOTTOM termination chip components  

3. For SMT component with J-Lead termination
