Great advice for soldering these small SMTs!
The problem we're having is keeping the chip stationary while tring to tack/solder it. I'm going to come up with a type of fixture that holds the board and a spring loaded pin capable of traveling in the X-axis and Y-axis over the board and hold the chip to the PCB. I don't suppose anyone has made one? If not, I'll provide plans of what I come up with.

IMHO, it works better, if the tip features flat surfaces. The solder happily flocks to a blob on the flat surface because this minimizes the area that interfaces with the air. Convex tip surfaces do not attract molten solder this way. Worst case is the cone of a pencil-like tip. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Email: [2][email protected] Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: [3]http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [4][email protected] [5]http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user References 1. mailto:[email protected] 2. mailto:[email protected] 3. http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 4. mailto:[email protected] 5. http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
