When working with sot-23’s or 0603’s the best handling technique is to use a simple piece of soft rubber tube in the mouth and suck to pick up and manipulate small components - a small vacuum pump and rubber tube is another way
Wow!
That’s the BEST technique?
And I’ve been using a small pair of tweezers all these years.
How silly of me to think that a pair of tweezers was NOT the BEST way to handle SOT-23’s and 0603’s.
How stupid of me to think that there may have been a better way to handle these parts after all these years.
I wonder what brilliant nuggets of information the O/P might have for handling 0402 parts?
0402? No prob. I use a bit of chewing gum on the end of a toothpick. None of this sissy pants vacuum pickup tool nonsense!
