  2. The Problem Building breadboards with tiny little surface-mount ICs The Solution Small PC boards which hold SMDs and have pads (at 0.1” spacing)which are large enough to mount larger wired components. The boards, some of which can also carry DIL ICs, have provisionfor supply decoupling and can be mounted on a PCB ground planeby soldering their back plane to it (use a HOT iron!) There are also strips of pads for mounting other components. You can then breadboard just like you always used to.

  3. Another Problem How do I mount the ICs on the little PCBs? Another Solution • You need a good thermostatic soldering iron with a solder-well tip (see diagram) • 1. Set the tip temperature to the temperature appropriate to the solder alloy • being used – lead free or not. • 2. Place component and fix two opposing corner pins. • 3. Apply flux liberally to all the pins of the IC. • 4. Clean the solder-well tip on a sponge. Fill the concave portion of the tip with solder, • to slightly above the rim. DO NOT OVERFILL! • 5. Holding your soldering iron VERY LIGHTLY in your hand, set the filled tip, • with the solder-well side parallel to the PCB, down onto the flat exterior portion of the • pins. The iron and tip should be parallel to the body of the SMD. Slowly pull it across • the pins towards you. • 6. Repeat steps four and five for the remaining sides of the SMD. Remove flux • residue if necessary.

  4. First Boards are Shown Below Which packages should be next? DIP 8SOIC 8SOT-23 (0.025” pitch)SC70With supply decouplingand ground run-through DIP 14/16SOIC 14/16With supply decouplingand supply and groundrun-throughs SOT-23 (0.025” pitch)SC70 With ground run-through DIP 8SOIC 8SOT-23 (0.0375” pitch)With supply decouplingand ground run-through These boards are all on thisone and can be broken off it(except that the little SOT-23 boards cannot be broken apart but must be separated with side cutters). SOT-23 (0.0375” pitch) With ground run-through I have also made some strips of component mounting pads like theseThey can be cut to length with side cutters These are broken apart from this board
