Haha - they say that 90% of the problems with electronic gear comes down to bad solder joints... |

I wouldn't advise spreading it, just put a small rice grain or a bit smaller in the centre of the package and then slowly tighten the mounting bolt. But over the front of the package use a washer or small plate to evenly distribute the force. The actual die inside is not going to be an bigger then 5mm square, probably smaller so all you really need is good heat distribution from the centreof the package to the heatsink. If I used a Stanley blade I would be concerned that it might be too thin somewhere. Of course too thick is bad as well.
Even better than a solder sucker is some solder wick. In fact it is 10x better. Also some flux for reworking. Edited by odc04r - 17 September 2012 at 6:37pm |
