They apear to be 15 mil, fairly big by some standards (those 3 or 5 mil bend real easy!) It may be a difficult task for you, but someone that does SMT soldering should find it pretty easy... : : > I suspect you could do as good as the photo (might want a big magnifying : > glass in your case...) : : FWIW, I can't solder a plain DIP of the TTL variety. I lack the steady : hands to avoid bridging in that sort of situation. Well... Id do it for you, but Im not there, and I dont have my tools here... If you want to ship it to me, with the parts, and a soldering iron, flux, and solder, Ill do it.
