What if component pin height is less than PCB thickness?

To avoid such problems, when designing a PCB, the thickness of the board should be determined by referring to the pin lengths of the components used. If the thickness of the circuit board cannot be changed, then choose an alternative model (MPN) with the same function but sufficient pin height. For some special components, you can also consider slightly "floating on the board" for soldering, or combining mechanical fixation methods to assist in the soldering.

Suggestion:

During the PCB design stage, the component package size, pin length and board thickness should be uniformly checked to avoid assembly problems in the production stage.
