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.
[Sure is handy to have somebody else pre-filter the googlegroupers
that are whitelist-able. Thanks, John! ;-) ]
And for the OP ... there are scads of how-to pages out there. The
tutorials at <http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/hdr.php?p=tutorials>
(scroll way down for the surface mount stuff) have pretty good info
for the enthusiast/hobbyist, including video clips.
