Hi all,
I have a board that I want to put a chip socket into. But, and
here's the problem, I want to solder the body of the socket, not the
pins.
The body has a 40 mil dia, the pins are 18 mil and my board has 40
mill holes.
When I try to solder near the socket, it melts the socket. I guess
if I had a flat tip I could squeeze it under (there is about 100 mill
clearnace) and not touch the plastic.
An alternative would be to use solder paste as it melts at a lower
temperature....
any suggestions ? need pictures ?
Dave
