[Elecraft] quick (gooberheaded) solder question

Mon Nov 3 17:49:01 2003

Good technique, but not just for soldering IC legs.  You poke a board =
with a bunch of resistors, solder one lead of each resistor then go back =
and solder the second lead. Same if you stuff a bunch of dog ticks.  =
This lets the components rest a bit before taking some more heat.

  Hi!
  As mentioned before the tipmass is important.
  If you like to be on the safe side when soldering components with more =
than 2 legs it would be wise to let them rest a couple of seconds.
  As excample: A 16 pin ic ...
  Start to solder one pin in a corner and then diagonally to opposite =
corner.
  Let that ic rest while you take another component or just wait.
  In that way there is no overheating.
  And if static is blown out of the way , there should be no problem.
