Hi Norman, is there a reason you wouldn't use drag soldering on this type of chip? I have almost no SMT experience myself.
Also, do you have any special method of soldering a very small TSOT-23 package by hand soldering? I have a need to mount one of these chips on a board and the lead spacing is very fine (.5mm)
I'm currently using a no clean Kester 951 flux along with a small diameter solder (.03) and a fine tip iron set at approx. 550F. Any advice would be appreciated.
hi, noticed in a lot of your videos that you initially solder one or two of the pins but you are not using solder to tack them down so how do the stick until you start using the solder properly, is there something in the flux that attaches the pins temporarily, how do they "dry tack" ?
It is a Rosin 800 by Alpha Metal. It is a No Clean Flux that I have been using for several of video streams. It gives me better wetting action for lead free solder. The soldering system is OK Industries MX 500 and the tips is a 700 degree set temperature.
What a crooked, shitty job!

Dry tack is using solder that is on the part from tinning it or from solder that is left on the pad after you have prepped the site.

Norman: Why the RMA Flux on this video and not the No Clean like the others? Technique looks similair... ?
Also What degree tip (or what is the control set to) are you using in these videos?
