SMD Solder Manual

For SMD soldering one needs rosin (also called colophony) It helps the molten metal to flow and making a better connection. Because SMDs are super small a magnifying glass could help a lot, too.

And certainly one needs all the standart solder tools.

1. One need a protoboard for the SMD chip.

2. And the chip.

3. Put rosin on the solder pats.

4. And some solder, too.

5. Check with the magnifying glass if there a no briges.

6. Again rosin.

7. Bring the chip in the right possition.

8. Solder one leg, check if the possition is OK.
