In The Air: Epidose 1: Introduction
In The Air: Episode 2 - Preparing for Surface Mount Work
Introduction
I've been combining some "Working With Surface" mount material for this weeks post. The target audience will be anyone who has soldered previously, but has not done surface mount and anyone who could use a few more tricks to add to their repertoire. We'll be covering surface mount soldering using an iron and using paste. If you're not a fan of watching videos, you won't like this post, as I have used videos to show the soldering process.
The Demonstration
This video demonstrates:
- The setup for surface mount work
- Removing components with hot air
- Soldering surface mount components onto a board without using hot air
- Soldering surface mount components onto a board using hot air
- Using a solder sucker
The Magnifier Shows
My lamp magnifier showed up after I created the video above, so I made another short video demonstrating the use of the unit.
Conclusion
That's it for now. I hope it's useful when it comes time to solder your project. Good Luck!
