So I decided to try my hand at soldering surface mount components. I mean, lots of people are doing it these days, how hard can it be?
I read a bunch of how to solder SMT tutorials, and they all said the same thing. They said, start out with the larger passives, like 805s, and once you get the hang of those, 603s are relatively straightforward.
Being a bit of an idiot, I thought to myself, I'll just start with the 603s, how hard can it be? So I ordered some, and they came in the mail. You want to know how small a 603 1k resistor is?
About the size of a single digit of the date on a nickel. Thereabouts.
