[SECC] SMD Soldering/unsoldering Question

[Mack]

Jeff,

I'll be offering a tutorial on exactly this subject at the upcoming GARS TechFest on Jan 9th for the North Fulton Amateur Radio League. 

It's not really difficult, does require a bit of practice, and a few tools. Hot air is a much more complex venture and I'll be demoing it at the TechFest.

If you have specific questions before then please contact me via PM or call. Contact details at www.nfarl.org .

Subject: [SECC] SMD Soldering/unsoldering Question


Any SECCers have experience in Surface Mount Device soldering and unsoldering ?  SMDs are used in lots of ham equipment and I wanted to gain some proficiency in SMD.   I've checked the web, but really didn't find any clear answers.

 

In particular,

 

Any recommendations for a soldering pencil (Weller WES51 or Hakko 936 ?), and tip (1/64 inch ?)

 

Any recommendations for desoldering a 4 sided flat pack (hot air tool?)

 

Magnifying lens

 

 

 

Thanks,

Jeff W4DD
