Mowgli1647545497 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'm needing to solder some lead wires to a circuit board. I can handle the down-wire soldering from there but I don't have the tools or the experience to solder into PCB contacts without drowning the contacts on the board or just fucking the whole thing up altogether. Who or where in town can one find precision soldering services? Could be a business or individual. Would need to be able to handle electrostatic shock as the circuit board i'm wiring up is a one-off and I can't risk it getting damaged due to discharge (there is a processor, mini SD port and non-volatile memory on board). I may need to put resistors inline with some of the lead wires and if possible would like the resistor right on the board and the lead wire to come off the resistor. I'd be willing to travel to wherever to get the work done but not able to leave the board to be worked on - I will need to be present when the work is done. Any help is appreciated.

Are you talking about normal size pads or SMD type shit? If they are simple normal pads, all you really need is a decent low, or variable wattage iron and and a little patience.

Akula Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Through hole or surface mount? I have done some pretty small work for some of the guys on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I can do it, piece of cake. I certified micro-miniature soldering in the Navy and did loads of work when I got out at an electronics assembly plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotarded1647545491 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 ^^^this guy^^^^^ He did some spectacular work for me a few moons ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks Akula. I'll give you a PM/buzz when I work out and buy what resistors I need for the LED leads. Getting close now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
