  • Dude I am totally working on a project with the same chip. Ive never soldered ssop and the project has 2. How easy is it to fry the chip? whats the best temp for the iron? Thanks

  • Don't worry about frying the chip. If you spend more than a couple of minutes soldering take a break and let it cool down. The best way I think for this chip is to use a large tip and solder all the pins without worrying about bridging the pins. Then use some desoldering braid to remove excess solder. The temperature depends on your solder I think I use 600-700F for 60/40 and 700+ for Pb free solder.

  • This is the wrong example on how to solder IC. We Hong Kong People can solider this type of Ic in 1 min.

    Solidering pin by pin is the most stupid approach.

    He should apply a patch of solder and drag across the pin quickly.

  • Thanks for your comment. Please post a video. I also use your method of using flux and simply dragging a ball/pool of solder across the pins.

  • Easier said than done.

    I've been soldering for 40 years and can't do these by hand -- even with smallest tip and smallest guage.

    SSOP sucks.

  • No, you are! :p

  • I tried this method and guess what......

  • This isn't really the way to do it. Take a look at some of the videos produced by professional trainers. These get soldered all at once in less than 1 min.

  • Dude, awesome job, yesterday i was soldering FT232 and that was nightmare ;)

  • coincido con Rafaslim

    con un poco de flux, mitad de tiempo y mejor...

  • Trabajo de mono, usa flux y suelda los pines del tirón.

  • Altium Protel DXP is a common software program to do it ;). You will have to sit through a few hours of video tutorials on how to use i tho

  • I tried soldering an SSOP chip today and really screwed it up. Where do you get that ultra-fine solder from? I got a 1mm thick solder and it kept coming off in globules which were hard to control. Ended up throwing everything away in rage.

  • Don't drink a pot of coffee prior to mounting one of those chips. ;-)

  • is too Complication , using the solding toal(Knife type) no need to solder each pin , the hold process can finish 20 second. if you want i can teach you how to do it easy way
