Hi all,
I am looking at a board that will have a couple SMD chips and a PIC
on a plate.
I call them chip carriers, aka sockets.
anyway, unlike a standard DIP chip, they have plastic frame that
extends past the leads so they cannot be soldered easily.
On my double sidded boards, I can solder both sides for most things
like resistors and such that need the connections, but on these it's
a pain.
can I use the same solder paste for surface mount devices to get a
solid contact on these parts ?
I've been lucky enought to get less than 5 via's by moving things
around a lot.
