I have had great success using solder paste (Kester) and a sharp tip solder iron. 1)Apply solder paste (H2O soluble flux) with syringe to pad. 2)Place smd and align part 3)Solder corner pins for alignment first by heating the pad and pin at the same time. The paste will flow only on the pad/pin. An eyeloop or microscope helps. 4) Solder remaining pins. 5) rinse and clean part in water. Toothbrush helps. Blow air to dry Jann Dr. Jann P.
