[Elecraft] Heat sinks?

[Louis LaCour]

Hello all:

I'm sure this is a rookie question to all you seasoned pros, but as I'm
expecting delivery of my K2 tomorrow, I figured, what the heck?

In looking through the build manual for the K2 I see no recommendation to
use any kind of heat sink devices when soldering in various components.  I
presume this isn't a big problem or I would have seen others talking about
it.  Thus, is it safe to just get the component into place quickly, secure
in the belief that such a small amount of heat for such a short time is not
a risk?

Or, am I just totally missing something (!)

Humbly yours,

Louis

P.S.   A quick trip through the archives didn't turn up anything.
