Is there a cheap smt IC template source?
|
Can anyone direct me to a supplier for smt IC
templates that is reasonable?? I found one supplier but they
wanted $80 for a small SOIC8 template.? I know that if I order pc
boards from a Chinese board house I can then add a project
soldering template to the order for $10 but I am looking for just
the IC templates.? I can usually hand solder the other parts but
when I get to a QFP144 or QFP64 IC I can't hand solder it.? My
Weller WCTP soldering station does not have the option of buying a
solder cup tip to use for drag soldering like a Hakko or Pace
offers.? For that reason I was hoping that someone makes and sells
just the IC footprint templates to allow me to use solder paste
and a hot plate and hot air gun or reflow oven to mount the
chip(s).
Thank you.
