I have recently decided I need to utilize SMT resistors on one of my designs as there simply isn't room for regular thru hole resistors. From reading recent...
... If you apply the correct amount of paste, it won't cause any shorting. I have used sokler paste with a Weller Pyropen, but it's easier to use thin solder...
Hi, I use the 60 degree mechanical etching bits from Think and Tinker. They are about $9US each in lots of 10. I have yet to try a CARBIDE dental bit. See if...

This is what I've found to work. Get yourself an extra soldering iron fitted with a very fine tip. Using some 0.5 mm diameter solder, tin one of the pads so...
I've found that a very fast and reliable way to solder SMT resistors is as follows: a) Make a simple hold-down, e.g., from a block of wood and a bent piece...
