40-Lead Lead Frame Chip Scale Package [LFCSP_VQ] 6 mm × 6 mm

Anyone ever soldered one?

Any tips/tricks appreciated!

As long as the pad is exposed on the side there isn’t much issue. I like to take a sharp chisel tip, put some solder (very little) on several pads at once and then push it up to the IC pads. Flux is essential for this operation. The plastic between the pins acts as soldermask and I’ve had very good success with that. Solder bridges can more often than not be removed just by touching the trouble area with the chisel tip.

Thanks for the tips! Worked like a charm :slight_smile:
