Recently I have gained a 555 timer, the IC is a bit smaller than I thought it would be and now I'm having trouble figuring out how I'm going to implement this into a circuit.
attached below is a pic of the size of the IC and the size of the soldering tip I have to work with. any suggestions?
I have tried soldering wire leads to each terminal with no success, (so i could use it on a bread board)
I was thinking of making a PCB just for the IC so I could re use it if the circuit doesn't work...
I'm running out of ideas so I turned to you for some experienced ideas.
Thanks in advance
