Hi,

Quick newbie soldering question. I need to solder some wires to pins
on an SOIC package. I've never soldered something with this small of
pin spacing. Is there a trick for first tacking down the wire to the
pin before you solder so that it stays in place? Thanks for any tips

If you apply heat and solder to the wire, solder will flow along the wire
and onto the pin, if it's in contact.

Soldamop wick is handy if you need to remove solder.
