Hi,
We wish to hand solder the SIM800 RF module...(seen here on pages 15 and 16)

There is a 0.4mm gap between the pads, though due to the castellated side pads, the solder splurges out and shorts between the pads when you are soldering it. You cannot use a fine tip iron as it doesnt heap up the pad and connection enough.

This is the soldering station we have..

This was the soldering tip we used, but it was giving shorts between pins....
