I was installing a heatsink which didn't quite fit and after installing it, I noticed that I've twisted the L200CV about 5° when looking from above the chip. What kind of damage, if any, can I expect?
Answer
If you bent the leads after the package was soldered in, the solder joints may have cracked. It is worth touching them up. Ensure you don't dry them out by using flux and a reasonable temperature.
The regulator itself will be fine. Leads are meant to be bent.
