Save time by using the
techniques to solder more
quickly.
Solder
with
extremely high quality and reliability.
Save money by in-sourcing (ie.
D.I.Y.).
Get
your prototypes
up and running faster.
Profit from producing
small batches of
boards for customers.
Eliminate
the cost
and time overheads involved in out-sourcing.
Use in-sourcing as
either your primary or
backup option.
Achieve
the great satisfaction of a self-soldered board.
Your colleagues will be amazed
by your soldering
skills.
I show you how to:
Quickly & reliably
hand-solder a quad flat
pack.
Solder
other fine
pitch components such as SOICs (small outline ICs).
Do chip placement and alignment.
Use
an ordinary
toaster oven to solder chip components.
Use the incredible "frying pan
solder pot method" to
solder
through-hole. components fast (after you know this, you will probably
want to
solder boards this way all the time).
