To Solider this IC you need to first solider the IC to the board with a standard iron the apply plenty of wet flux then remove the excess solider from the IC with a con caved solider tip. Practise on a spare IC first, but it is not so difficult. >Hi there! > > >I will appreciate any help from an experienced lister about techniques for >manual soldering this kind of chip. >I got experience on manual soldering of some types of SMD IC's (using >Chem-Wik rosin), but this one has a *very little* space between pins. > >The mechanical specs are: > >* Package: 144 pin (4x36 pin) LQFP (Low-profile QFP) >* Distance between center of pins: 0.5 mm. >* Pin width: 0.17 mm. > > >Probably it can be done using flux or solder paste, but i have no detailed >idea about application of these techniques. > >And yes, the chip is available only with this package... > > >Best Regards, > >S.- > >-- >http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: >[PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
