Recently I bought a Hakko 936 soldering station and
several T-1 fine conical bits.
My first SMD soldering is a 28 pin SOIC chip to a PDIP
adapter PCB so that I can experiment with a CS8427 in a
breadboard. The CS8427 is a digital sound s/pdif AES3
transceiver, which I'm using as a general purpose filter
for optical and coaxial digital sound.
The 28 pin SOIC is a comfortable size for me to start.
I soldered it well, no bridges, using an Optivisor and a
T-1 bit. The soldering isn't a work of art but is fully
functional.
I look forward to building the njqrp.org DDS-60 kit
that I've had pending, though the AD9851's legs are a
lot smaller and closer set than those of the CS8427.
Thankyou Tom for posting the bit numbers with their uses.
