I refuse to follow the ever-diminishing scale of components just because they are there. Trying to solder this stuff is just madness and torture. (008004? Give me a break!) My chosen style of prototyping is dead-bug and the parts I use for that are DIPs and TH resistors and stuff because I can easily deal with it, its still cheaply available in quantity, and I don't give a damn about keeping up with the Jones's (so to speak). For pcbs I have a small, growing library of 0805's but that's IT! My hands are pretty steady still as I near end of my seventh decade on this dirt but I am not going to get sucked into that particular rabbit hole with its attendant eye-strain, carpal-tunnel syndromes and increasingly expensive tools just so I can say to myself that I am up to date. :rant: UC, I advise you to do the same. I can drag solder with the best of them but I'll do that only when I need to. /Rant |

While there are few realistic use cases for using 008004 and 01005, as they are expensive and have limited adoption due to limited choice and manufacturing limitations, ignoring all SMD parts nowadays severely limits your options especially if you’re designing market leading products. That being said, why do you think people climb Everest or row across the Atlantic? |

I remember thinking years ago that SOIC was small. These days I could pretty comfortably solder it with one of those big old Weller soldering guns if I had to. |

But... he ordered the wrong package. Between throwing those parts away or buying new toys equipment, there's really no choice. Sorry about the vacation fund, honey. Daddy needs to buy some tools. |
