Mechanical fit
Include connector orientation, lead forming, component height restrictions and enclosure interfaces. Drawings are useful where a placement list cannot describe the final mechanical position.
Mixed technology
Identify which components are surface mounted and which are inserted. State heat-sensitive parts and any manual operations that need a work instruction.
Final checks
Specify solder acceptance, lead trimming, polarity and mechanical checks. Functional requirements belong in a separate test instruction.
