Total noob to pedal building, so please correct me if/where I flail..
A bit of searching has led me to believe most pedalpcb boards have 5mm lead spacing for most components with 2.5mm for electrolytics.
Is this true for boards that explicitly call for 1/4 watt resistors?
Reason I ask is that the "standard" body length of 1/4 watt resistor is over 6mm. For instance, the Tayda ones that are talked about hereabouts are 6.8mm.
So:
1. Are all the people who buy "full size" 1/4 watt resistors regularly bending leads and letting all the resistors ride up off the boards?
2. Are most people buying "small bodied" resistors (eg Vishay MBA, Yageo MF0, etc)?
3. Or do 1/4 watt boards have different lead spacing?
