Take the easy & costless way...

Hi.

It is always a pain to solder muti-pinned chips however skilful one can be in soldering. It is the heat we all worry about.

To kill the heat, I use cotton Q-tips soaked with distilled water (available cheaply in bulk containers in any grocery stores) or just filtered water from the tap.

Soak up the entire body of the chip & the neightbouring pins with the wetted Q-tip in position, the soldering heat will be greatly dissipated before any heat damage can incur.

The same wetted Q-tip cooling can be applied to soldering any heat sensitive parts.

It works bigtime for me.
