| Dave's SMD Video last month !! |
| (1/1) |
| GlennSprigg:
I had looked at various videos before the one above, as even 'thinking' about replacing SMD parts seemed beyond my abilities!! Why should I want to?? Because like everyone else there are times when we need to change certain OpAmps with quality devices, so to increase their functionality & accuracy. It used to scare me about SMD devices. Now I can move on, and understand. Mind you, my failing eyesight does not help!!! 8) |
| GlennSprigg:
P.S. I'm impressed with the 'Drag' soldering technique... Never thought of that!! :D (Of course I'm talking about the many pinned IC's there...) It seems, from other videos too, that the hardest part is holding the SMD in place. Others use a simple weight with a springy arm, to press down & hold the component, without 'tacking' corners! 8) And of course... plenty of FLUX !! :-+ |
