I have an LCD who's leads extend about 10mm past the board surface.

enter image description here

Can a typical selective solder machine fountain reach this high?

If not, any suggestions on the best way to handle long protruding LCD leads like this?

Thanks!

    \$\begingroup\$ @PlasmaHH Still in deign phase, so there is no assembly house yet to ask, and also don't want to get stuck with a process that only a limited number of places can do - hence asking about "typical" capabilities! :) \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ "These extended leads are part of the design," - sounds like a bad design. Why does it need such long leads? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ There exists a type of stacking header receptacle where the inserted pins can pass all the way through the board. Turns out we already have a question on them: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/207230/… The "Bottom Entry Socket Strip" listed there as Samtec BSW is the specific style I had in mind, though the discrete contacts like those in machine pin IC sockets look rather interesting too. \$\endgroup\$
