I'm asking because I want to fit the PCB inside a box but it might not fit because of the height of the pins when they aren't bended

Not really, depends how hack it is.

Do the pins line up with your solder holes? If so, through holes, solder, trim.

If not, I'd run wire to solder points.

Bending is an option, but not a good one, as a bend can break connection

Thanks a lot.

I don't have a board yet. I have to be custom made.

I guess it might be better to find a box with more height unless it's normal to make holes that line up with with the pins.

It's definitely normally to have a board that lines up with components. If you're designing it yourself, design it that way.

You're fucked

You can always cut off the excess leads.

thanks.

that begs the question how close the component (not excluding the pins) can be to the board. Any idea?

Dude you have too throw away the entire motherboard now! You could open yourself up to hacks by other countries. Be careful anon

>>51542411
can other countries enter my home through solder holes?

No distance minimum unless you are using something that makes heat; processor, relay, etc. Then youll want a little room around it, otherwise, theres no minimum. You can even pot the board once you get it built to hold components. Once soldered in place, you can trim the pins down to about nothing past the board.
