I'm looking for Do-it Yourselft articles on soldering surface mount
components. I can't afford the IR equipment that commercial board
houses use. I'm particularly interested in soldering the new ROHS
components that require lead free solder. The lead free solders
require higher temperatures. Also, do board coatings prevent problems
with tin whiskers that grow from the lead free solders?
It's easy to solder most surface-mount parts by hand; just practise a
bit.
And it's OK to use rosin-flux leaded (63/37) solder, even to solder
lead-free parts. Better in fact.
As far as I know, nothing prevents whiskers, not even coatings. Except
lead, of course.
