Hello Chris,
I posted this reply earlier today to an unrelated post, for sure, you
need liquid flux and don't even think about unleaded solder!
"Perhaps consider getting one of the cheap Fox TCXO's? I use them in
U3S and they work great with GPS from a QLG1. They are a bit fiddly to
solder until you realize they aren't as delicate as they look and you
put four solder blobs on the PCB pads and on the pads of the Fox, then
fuse them together with a hot iron going around all four in
succession very rapidly. I have even used a crude hot air pen (gas
soldering pencil torch with the hot air tip on it) to remove and re-use
one from a dead board. I was amazed it survived the experience but it
was just as good as a new one!" 2E0ILY

Hi All,
Sorry if this question has been addressed before.
Has anyone soldered the FOX924B-27.000 TXCO to the Synth board
using a standard soldering iron? From the datasheet, the TXCO pads
are under the chip and appear to require a hot air gun...but there
are small dimples in the corners of the chip. Can those be used to access the pins with an iron?
Best,
Chris, VO1CKD_._,_._,_
