The RHS II can accommodate a range of 0.8 to 2.0mm, however the PCB transfer rails must be changed for PCBs with nonstandard thickness. This is an option. Even when using the standard 1.6mm thick PCB, there are chances of lead length/angle variation which causes PCB transfer error depending on the shapes of boards and/or insertion holes. |

IM Component Lead Hole Specifications
Component Lead Hole Specifications
PC boards should be punched for component lead insertion to the following recommended hole diameters.
HOLE DIAMETER = LEAD MAXIMUM DIAMETER (φd for round leads, φd3 for rectangular leads) + 0.483 mm
(0.019″) ±0.08 mm (0.003″)
Hole sizes less than the recommended size may result in a degradation of insertion reliability while holes that are greater than recommended may result in loose components in the printed circuit board.
Unguided leads require larger hole-to-lead relationships. For triangular or in-line layout (such as potentiometers and SIPs), PC boards should be punched for the unguided lead(s) to the following recommended hole diameter.
HOLE DIAMETER = MAXIMUM LEAD DIAMETER + 0.584 mm (0.023″) ±0.08 mm (0.003″)
Note:
For maximum lead diameter, use φd for round leads and φd3 for rectangular leads. (Refer to the notes for “Two- Leaded Component Specifications” for definitions of φd and φd3.)
For further considerations and examples of lead-to-hole relationships, see the Cut and Clinch sections of this GS for the particular cut and clinch desired.
Holes used for board error correction should be 1.0 mm + 0.5 mm (0.040″ + 0.020″). Plated holes or translucent PCBs may affect performance.
Recommended Lead Hole Span
Dual Span Machines
Insertion performance is maximized by considering the jaw tooling design when laying out the PC board hole patterns (the jaw clamps secure the component leads against the fixed surfaces of the jaw guide). In order to achieve the best results, the insertion hole spans in the PC board should be designed at 2.54 mm (0.100″) (for 2.5 mm components), one lead diameter plus 4.5 mm (0.177″) (for 5 mm components). Use the following table for a reference.

Note:
These dimensions apply only to holes for leads that are captured by the insertion tooling. All remaining holes should be drilled according to component manufacturers’ specified spacing requirements.

Radial 8 Head Tooling
The Radial 8 is equipped with 13.0 mm (max component body diameter) head tooling as a standard feature.
The Radial 5 offered two types of head tooling, 10.5mm and 13.0mm. Since the 13.0mm tooling can handle larger components and the only drawback is a very small footprint increase of 0.33mm (0.013”), the 10.5 mm tooling was dropped as a standard offering on the Radial 8. This change has simplified the ordering and manufacturing processes.
Radial 8 Clinch tooling
Three different styles of clinch tooling are offered to address the highly varied requirements of our customers.
| Tooling | Pro | Con | Comments |
| “N” 90 degree short | Short finished clinch length works well for high density applications | Hole diameter versus wire diameter must be properly controlled to yield a tight clinch | N 90 degree long and N 90 degree short account for over 90% of machines sold. |
| “N” 90 degree long | Tight clinch is possible even when using large hole diameters | Higher chance of solder bridging or other density issues | Both N style clinches have very few adjustments |
| “T” style | Lead length may be adjusted to suit customer/product | More adjustments than either “N” style clinch | PC boards are usually designed to use either N or T style tooling exclusively. |
