It’s been quite some time since I play with small soldering job. Time to practice a bit more. On the same time, I have to solder my LME 49720HA to the PCB board converter. So, let’s heat up the hand a bit. The idea is to convert TO-99 package into standard DIP8.

The result…

I remove the plastic from the gold pins on the bottom (I hate plastic stuff around). This makes the soldering process becomes a bit more difficult as the pin has no holder. With the help of dummy DIP8 socket, I can make sure all the pins arranged in a correct way.
