Easier said than done.I've been soldering for 40 years and can't do these by hand -- even with smallest tip and smallest guage.SSOP sucks.

is too Complication , using the solding toal(Knife type) no need to solder each pin , the hold process can finish 20 second. if you want i can teach you how to do it easy way

Don't worry about frying the chip. If you spend more than a couple of minutes soldering take a break and let it cool down. The best way I think for this chip is to use a large tip and solder all the pins without worrying about bridging the pins. Then use some desoldering braid to remove excess solder. The temperature depends on your solder I think I use 600-700F for 60/40 and 700+ for Pb free solder.

Dude I am totally working on a project with the same chip. Ive never soldered ssop and the project has 2. How easy is it to fry the chip? whats the best temp for the iron? Thanks

you can very good solder - 5 pointsmaybe you have to take a high resolution picture from the SMD SSOP-28 in the vid - :)

Tinning/cleaning you iron tip over the board is a NO NO. I can't believe that was done on a "How-To" video! LMAO!!! Maybe a "How-Not-To" Video!

No, you are! :p

Pretty good technique. I am still learning how to do this, but I´m using a 0.6mm tip, which is the only one I can afford. Thanks for this video, really helped me out learning how to do it!

Yes, I agree. The guy should use solder paste
