Re: Soldering one pin headers


 

One should always consider static discharge with working with components. I'm lucky: My workshop is in the basement and I could run two cats together and never get a spark.

I hold the pin in place with my finger while I solder the other end.
It gets hot but only for an instant.? You can put a bandaid on your
thumb to help protect it from the heat if you like.? Be careful with
using standard tape on the circuit boards to hold things.? A lot of
these tapes can have very high static charges and could damage the ESD
sensitive components.
