Can't believe you guys in Europe are getting boards faster than US. Good to hear though.

yeah, received my PCB´s today, too.!.!
you send them off on the 16th, that´s only 5 days,
thats whickedly fast !!!

and they really look neat !
the sad thing is, it will take some weeks till i have the time to get
the amps done... -


cheerio,
Balou

I'm attempting my first SMT experience on Sunday.

I watched several videos on YouTube - that really helped. Biggest trick is to put a dab of solder on one pad first. Then place part
Onto both pads while heating that one solder pad to melt it. It will then wet the part. Then take tweezer and push part from top to apply pressure while heating that one solder pad again to press the part flush against the board. Then use new solder and iron to solder the other end. You can get pretty fast with practice.

Use good stainless steel tweezers (I have a nice Swiss made one I have used for 20 years). Get a binocular flip up magnifier.

This is what I use:

I have never had a letter get to Europe this fast. Must have caught the perfect timing with a plane load of mail from D.C. To Europe.

me neither, normally everything under 10 days is really good.
5 days sets a new record

My boards arrived today!

X, looking at your post #184, what is the material I see that you used to cover the leads of the leftmost cap? I see there is some blue shrink tubing on the other one...but what's the little shiny black square?

I use shrink tubing, and when in a hurry, I covered the leads with a square of black PVC electrical tape.
