Surface Mount Soldering by Terry, VK6ZLT
Terry took us through details on SMD soldering, including SM components, tools needed, flux and solder.
At the next Activity Day, April 2, there'll be a chance to try and practice techniques in soldering.
Hand-outs
Links from the handouts. There's plenty of videos on the web to get a good grounding on SMD soldering. Check out some below.
