What is a potential consequence of insufficient wire strip length as noted by IPC-A-610?

Insufficient wire strip length can indeed lead to loose connections. When the stripped length of the wire is inadequate, there may not be enough surface area for proper electrical contact with the connector or solder joint. This can create an unreliable interface, leading to intermittent connections or total failure of the circuit. Proper wire strip length is crucial for ensuring that the stripped wire can make solid contact with its mating component, providing stability and longevity in the assembly. Adequate wire length contributes to the mechanical and electrical integrity of connections, which is fundamental in electronic assemblies.

Other choices may suggest issues with usability or conductivity, but they do not accurately reflect the immediate consequences associated with insufficient wire strip length as outlined in IPC-A-610.
