I just received (2) SX48 chips to experiment with. I was shocked to see how small they were. As I thought they would be similar to the SX52 (from my SX52 protoboard - got 2 more of them today too from Parallax). The SX52 is small but solderable - but the SX48 is extremely tiny as compared to the SX52. 

How does one work with this? Is there a special socket or something or do you have to use this SX48 or a protoboard?

I have a radio shack 15 watt soldering iron with a thin tip - but not that thin to work with this chip (I don't think). See attachment. Getting a bit nervous. 

How about soldering Radio Shack 30 gauge wire to each pin then running them to a solderless breadboard?

Sorry for all the questions - just thinking out loud in a panic. lol.
