I want to affix a tiny transistor on the circuit board of a watch. I'm simply
replacing a bad one, with a good one I got from another watch module. What is
the best way to make it stay on? Should I use metal epoxy?

Thanks,

BJ

You need a very fine soldering tool, with the proper solder.

The best way, is to use the proper soldering station setup.

Epoxy of any kind will not work, and will just make a mess out of it.

In a pinch one time, I wrapped a thin piece of wire around the tip of my
soldering iron and used it (as an 'extension/reduction tip) to re-attach the
wire from an inductor in the alarm circuit of my watch. That was many years
ago...I don't think I could even 'see' the wire now. :-(

That'll kill it for sure.

Thanks for the help. I have done quite a bit of work on watch modules
but this is a lot more intricate than I'm used to. Could you point me in the
right direction for such a tool?

Thanks,

BJ
