We think you’re really going to enjoy this trick for making surface mount breakout boards ... This leaves an easy job of soldering the trailing side of the wire to a hunk of protoboard.

Drag soldering works exactly as its name implies ... We’ve also seen it used on hot beds for 3D printers, and as a smoothing surface for sliding mechanisms.

But what about actually soldering surface mount components? Our solder paste is on order, so we had to test it on a pre-assembled board. It easily melts the solder joints on this chip. Conclusion ...

Then solder was applied to the other end to get result shown in Figure 6B. SMT (Surface-mount technology) is a method for constructing electronic circuits in which the components (SMC, or Surface ...

Tyco Electronics has introduced a line of surface-mount headers with 0.100-in. centerlines that can withstand up to 280°C soldering temperatures. Tyco Electronics has introduced a line of surface ...

they will not mount directly onto the standard Raspberry Pi defined surface-mount solder footprint used to host Picos, as the Clipzin has guide pegs which need holes in the board, and there are other ...
