Thanks for all the suggestions, I am still a little undecided on what to do, so I have a few follow-up questions 1. Pete, you said to use solder paste and associated flux. I had a look on the Farnell site and there seem to be quite a few different types. I don't really understand the difference

The way a lady at my work did them was to crack out the bottom piece of the socket to give better access to the pins. She didn't typically put the bottom piece back in since we used the PLCC socket to plug into an emulator pod so there was no need for it (shoulder around the POD connector wouldn't

Hello, in my experience SMD components doesn't need a presoldering operation at all, because pins are already stained or golded, thus very solderable. Plus the extra heat could let the pin move inside the plastic, or add somehow excessive thickness when positioned on the PCB. In my experience the b
