Hey guys, I have my first SMD PCB on it's way. To make things a little easier I went with the 0805 resistors. I have an SOIC CMOS chip and a few supporting components. It's not huge 1" x 1.25" so a good easy start I hope.
I'm concerned that FR4 (140) might have issues with heat with reflow.
Also would like to use the "toaster oven" method for now... may purchase relfow oven in future... or build one. Do not want to use hot air.
Can you guys give me any pointers? I have been using thru hole most of my life. Have done few SMD repairs but nothing like this...
Thanks!
Charlie
