How to solder IC to prototype board

So, you finally receive your prototype board. How to get started?

  • At least solder iron with temperature regulation, but best results achieves with hot air rework station. Trust me, if you do electrical it most important tool that you have to have
  • Some kind of holder. This is a bad idea to proceed on free standing board because micromovements of board does not allow to positioning the IC with good accuracy
  • Multimeter to check the circuit for the shorts after soldering
