I'm not just talking about videos about soldering -- this is seriously the most content-dense and most helpful video I think there is on this platform. And it's more than 15 years old at the time of writing.
I have done a LOT of soldering in my days, and this video is extremely great! It is sad to see so many people on the internet showing off their poor soldering skills, but this video does not fall into that category. Thanks!
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Zachariah Troy i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
As someone with no interest in electronics and barely able to hold a steady conversation let alone a micro soldering iron, I had no reason to watch this video.... and yet was totally blown away.. awesome job. If only more youtube vids were this good!
a big hang for this guy he is the best repairer in the world i think.recommended to watch his videos very cool and extreemly helpful once again recommended.
A nice clean video with a large learning content - for the beginners and for advanced in electronics. The showed methodes and tools give more power to the DIY as professional technician - I hope to see more of these videos. Another thing learned today - added to the list.
Excellent narration. Clear and concise instruction. Thanks for your generosity and a general thanks to all TH-cam posters for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Thanks! I was able to put together the Elenco Surface Mount Function Generator kit together, a requirement for my 100 level IPC certification courses, and we had no previous instruction in SMT soldering. Your video was the only prep I had other than seeing pictures of what proper joints look like, and it was a successful endeavor. Thanks!
Thanks, Mario. I have a kurzweil that needs a new chip, and it's been a long time since I changed anything more than a cap. I had a Ungar when I was a kid but after three decades, it's gone. Awesome to imagine how many people are fixing things for themselves because of all these great tutorial videos. I have three lcd tv's that cost me four dollars to fix, all because of cheap broken caps.
Best vid I've seen on this subject - Informative on HOW to do it, as well as tips on associated things like fixing. thank you! just what i needed. Russ from Coral Springs, Fl
Most excellent. Thank you. A fine example of how to do a "how to" video. Many players would have taken 30:00 or more to cover what you did here. Bravo.
Great video! It was as if I was doing it myself... The only thing I can add is when using solder-wick, do not press down hard on the solder-wick with the tip of the iron. The excess pressure combined with the heat of the iron can lift pads. Also, keep an eye out for shards or small strands of solder-wick wire left behind from the braid as they become potential electrical shorts! And remember... Flux is your friend! Nice work Curious Inventor! Bravo!
Your slodering skills are amazing. I wish I could solder like that, but I guess with the right tools equipment & a bit of practise I could be nearly as good.
Excellent tutorial this has given me some very useful tips before I start my project thanks I wish there was more videos like this crystal clear no waffling on about stuff that doesn't matter and excellent camera work. I'm glad I watched this otherwise I would of stuffed up my project as I've never fitted surface mount components before
This is how a "solder pro" does it you might want to ad...i am at the learning stage and it takes alot of practice to be able to do this and yes you will at some point fail while learning the progress of soldering.With that said i want to thank you for a great video tutorial.
i'm going to need to solder some SMD soon for the 1st time for a personal project. I have some TFQP 64 and some SSOP 24.. this video has made me less scared about it :)
I'm just starting my education in electronic technology and I will be doing a lot of soldering and watching these surface mount soldering videos make my heart stop :(
Thanks. Not sure if this answers your question, but 603 is the shape of the package, and lots of different components can be produced in that package: resistors, capacitors, LEDs, inductors, chokes, etc. 603 implies SMD.
flux flux flux. Tried doing it before I watched this video - assumed flux core solder would do the job... no go. Bought a flux pen, and BLAM - no problems. Thanks!
Super vid, thanks! And, hands up who pressed the dislike button - this video is professionally recorded, scripted and narrated, what on earth is there to dislike?!
Excellent tutorial! I am very good at larger componient soldering, but I am about to enter the working of micro-mini soldering, this video really helps!
this is a truly great tutorial! beautiful video quality, clear instructions, accurate-seeming information and amazing detail! one small question: how do you keep a steady hand when working with these small components? thanks!
A high-resolution DVD is now available on our website that features this video along with our introduction to Soldering and Metal Working videos. It was produced for people wanting to show the videos in lab or club meetings. Thanks
great video, im not much of a solderer, but i have known that someday il have to do it with with all of my many advanced electronic projects, now i am confident that i can do it, thanks stumbleupon
What a great job!! I though these components were much more hard to soldering. I have a cheap 60W soldering iron but i don't know if it is apropriate for this kind of components. Maybe it's to much hot... :-s
Excellent tutorial. I have a temperature controlled Weller, and need to replace a DMP-14 package chip. I feel confident that I will be able to with no trouble. It's only slightly smaller then a DIP.
this is soooo useful - i was going to spend £90 on a new board for the sake of £7 temp sensor - think i'll go with a diy repair - whats the worse could happen ;-)
Wonderful video. Actually all of your videos are very well done. Thank you so much for the instructive videos! Very helpful indeed. If I may ask, how long have you been soldering?
I'm not just talking about videos about soldering -- this is seriously the most content-dense and most helpful video I think there is on this platform. And it's more than 15 years old at the time of writing.
Just gotta say I have viewed thousands upon thousands of TH-cam videos, but never before have I learned so much from just one video. Thanks!

Your skill makes it look *way* simpler than it actually is, but your explanations made it slightly less dreadful for me, so thank you!

Most excellent. Thank you. A fine example of how to do a "how to" video. Many players would have taken 30:00 or more to cover what you did here. Bravo.
This is a quality video. Comfortably-paced, informative and thorough. The camera/editing work was also spot-on. Great video!
great video. i've been soldering for years ,and this really buffed my SMD/SMT skills. You have mad skills to do that without magnification
Wow, I did not know this type of soldering was possible at a consistent level!
You should have been a surgeon!
Great video. I could watch those quality of tutorials all day.
Of all the videos I've watched, this nails it. Well done. Thanks
This is one of the best instructional videos of any kind that I've ever seen. Fine video, complete and clear explanations. I'm very impressed.
Once again, another highley detailed and informative video from CuriousInventor. Good job!
Thank you very much sir. This is really helpful video.

Excellent, just what I was looking for! Thanks so much for the magnification, makes it so much clearer.
At first soldering surface components was hard. After this video, I can do it while i lunch.
Thank you so much!

Thank you Curiuos Inventor dude, exactly what I was looking for! Typed in SMT soldering and your video got right to the point.
Wonderful quality video on the subject. And best of all it's backed up by quality work to demonstrate the techniques.
This is how a "solder pro" does it you might want to ad...i am at the learning stage and it takes alot of practice to be able to do this and yes you will at some point fail while learning the progress of soldering.With that said i want to thank you for a great video tutorial.
Wow, that was a really, really awesome! Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
Never thought that was possible by hand. Awesome video!
Great video! I was searching for a video exactly like this. It was informative and easy to understand. The demonstrations were great.
this is the best tutorial on this topic I've seen
Absolutely fantastic video, extremely clear and full of useful stuff..
Thanks for the awesome tutorial on SMD. soldering. This was very helpful.
i'm going to need to solder some SMD soon for the 1st time for a personal project. I have some TFQP 64 and some SSOP 24.. this video has made me less scared about it :)

Excellent. I did my first SMD project using this. Thank you.
flux flux flux. Tried doing it before I watched this video - assumed flux core solder would do the job... no go. Bought a flux pen, and BLAM - no problems. Thanks!
thanks. I found that resting the side of your hand on something helps to reduce jitters a lot.
You are a soldering Master!!! RESPECT...
Super vid, thanks!
And, hands up who pressed the dislike button - this video is professionally recorded, scripted and narrated, what on earth is there to dislike?!
excellent tutorial! I'm on a roll now. Good narration.
Thanks for making the video. Planning on replacing some smd and this is a great tutorial.
Such a great quality video and very clear explanation too!
Great Tutorial! Clear and concise. Thanks!
Thanks this was really concise and useful. It make me want to fire up my iron right now and practice.
Thanks this this excellent video! I will certainly be using some of these techniques in the future.
You are the best soldering teacher, who I found on youtube :)
great video, really showing how easy it is with not a lot of tools! mind you, good tools. Well done. thanks.
Awesome. I always thought that it was impossible to do by hand.
Thanks for the vid upload!
Excellent tutorial! I am very good at larger componient soldering, but I am about to enter the working of micro-mini soldering, this video really helps!
superb video, It helps many technicians ...
You are the best teacher ever!
Thank you, i am not scared to surface mount anymore!
I 'm almost ready to try this. I would really like to see how you do surface mounted chips using a stencil like they have at Polu.
very good video. always wondered how somebody prototypes with these quad chips and surface mount devices before the products are finalized.
Fascinating and informative. 0% extraneous stuff = infinite SNR. Thanks!
Awesome just needed a reminder. Just 2 minutes did it. Thanks
awesome video. thank you very much.
You all are AWESOME !!!!
Thank you for making this video! It's very helpful.
This is awesome! I wish I could solder like that...
Very helpful and interesting video clip . Thanks for sharing.
this is a truly great tutorial! beautiful video quality, clear instructions, accurate-seeming information and amazing detail! one small question: how do you keep a steady hand when working with these small components? thanks!
Realy good soldering toturial !
Pretty cool, I use to do board work but never with smt chips. I'll be looking to swap one out; that is if I can find the replacement.
Nice Video regarding Soldering of Surface Mounted Devices.
Thanks & Regards,

@hamnose Older boards may have built up corrosion and require more aggressive flux. Try some water soluble stuff, but be sure to wash it off.
Holy shit I actually fixed my mp3 player!!!
very, very useful tutorial. thanks for making this!
great video, im not much of a solderer, but i have known that someday il have to do it with with all of my many advanced electronic projects, now i am confident that i can do it, thanks stumbleupon
What a great job!!
I though these components were much more hard to soldering.
I have a cheap 60W soldering iron but i don't know if it is apropriate for this kind of components.
Maybe it's to much hot... :-s
An outstanding video, thank you for posting!
Very useful and informative. Thank you.
Very nice. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
PS: Right now their are 555 views. It's kind of ironic since a 555 timer is SMD!
Awesome work! Thank you for such a great tutorial!!
You did a great job! Wonderful video , speaking, and instruction. Very professional.
Very good teaching. ThanQ I need to soldering in industrial process by the use of sms rework stations
great video chief... seriously... pro job man
