hi there guys...

need help in soldering a surface mount power controller IC.

it's a MSOP packaging... the pin pitch spacing is 0.5mm. it's a 10 pin
device.

any ideas on how i can solder wires onto it so I can test it out without
doing a PCB board?

i tried soldering wires onto the pins (using a microscope - and 1mm
soldering iron tip) but... still having lots of trouble...

thanks for any help.

Jaycar have a new range of SMD prototyping boards to suit a whole range
of footprints.

Hi Dave,

I can't find any reference to these on Jaycar's website. Can you give me
a pointer?

Thanks

Ah, maybe they haven't filtered down to Jaycar yet, the wholesale group
Electus have them:
http://www1.electusdistribution.com...rds=prototype&SPECIAL=&form=KEYWORD&SUBCATID=

Type "prototype" onto the main search page and you'd get the whole list
of them:
http://www1.electusdistribution.com...totype&CATID=&SUBCATID=&form=KEYWORD&SPECIAL=

They also have cheaper looking individual boards here:
http://www1.electusdistribution.com...surface+mount&SPECIAL=&form=KEYWORD&SUBCATID=
Type "surface mount" into the search engine and you'll get several
options for these too.

Dave :)
