For small boards I use a Panavise (clone) to hold the board firmly at a convenient angle for soldering: <http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek/in-prac/best-of.htm#0809> For ESD protection, the clip lead connects the circuit ground on the PC board to the safety ground for the soldering iron, and also to an ESD wrist strap. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
