Re: Hand Soldering

I'm a EE student at Cornell working on a research project. We have to
do a significant amount of hand soldering for the project. Which chip
packages are hand solderable? I need to know what I can purchase
from, say, DigiKey and actually solder. Examples of packages I'm
interested in are:
* DIP
* SIP
* SOT
* SOIC
* SSOP
* TSSOP
* QFN
* TDFN

I know it depends on equipment and skill. I've done some soldering
before, but not much. We have medium quality soldering irons (not
tiny tips) and basic magnification (no microscopes).

TDFN has all pins under the device.

Attaching any of the rest to a PCB can be
done by hand with a soldering iron and a
light touch, but if you're *removing*
parts? Only the first four.

You might get the rest off a board with
lots of solder wick, but you'll likely
take a few traces with it...
