Good question: I've got a similar challenge facing me. A bunch of
components I need to use are only available as SM and I've never used
them on hand built boards.
I'll extend the question: do I need special tools to work with SM
components for prototype boards ? I'm used to using a chip clip to get
signals off DIPs. Should I put test headers on SM boards ?
