It is possible to solder SMD components by hand. Yes, it is possible to solder SMD components on a breadboard with a little care. I would like to show you a circuit that I have recently assembled. It ...

SMD components can be soldered in a variety of methods, from using pick and place machines, soldering pastes, to using soldering irons. The chosen method depends on the size/ package of your SMD ...

For most of us, soldering electronics means soldering on “through hole components,” that are large and easy to handle. However, when machines build components, they use “surface mount components,” ...

SMD soldering – At first, I tinned all the circuit board pads for the SMD chips before trying to mount them. That was a mistake. With both pads for chip tinned, heating up one end of the chip caused ...

Modding today's hardware often means moving or removing tiny surface mount components, and using a standard soldering iron feels about as effective as using a hammer to kill a fly. If buying an ...

I learn soldering SMD is a super simple kit designed to give you a (relatively) pain-free crash course in that topic! While SMD might look a bit scary in the beginning it's easily manageable when you ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present the application of the novel fluxfree soldering process for assembly of standard SMD components on a PCB. A standard SAC305 (Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu) type 3 powder is mixed ...

Oregon State University must be a pretty good place to go to school if you want to hack on robots. Their robotics club, which looks active and impressive, has a multi-part video series on how to ...
