Hi Paul, Jeff very accurately describes how I replace most SOIC and similar low lead count parts... What he describes works and works well! I also really like hot air...
That said, here's another technique that I sometimes use and may be a bit easier for you if you don't have tiny diagonal cutters. The video linked below describes flooding the pins with solder and slipping the part off to the side. This technique is nice if the part doesn't have too many leads. Works fine on SOIC-8 packages! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ_VVTyPGrU Best regards, Bob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
