O.K., I give up. I am through trying to solder thermocouples on to 20 mil pitch QFPs. Whether it's my lousy technique (fairly likely), the wrong solder (Kester calls it thermocouple solder, and who am I to argue...it's a Sn10Pb88Ag2 alloy) or just

I have been using aluminum tape to attach thermocouples lately. I got some when I ordered new thermocouples from KIC. I ran some comparisons using high temp solder and the tape, with no difference. You cut a small square of the tape (approx 1/8" s

Steve, I'm using 5 Sn/1.5 Ag/93.5 Pb Solder wire with a melting point of 300 deg. C to connect my thermocouples on smd components for thermal profiling. I'm using a soldering iron with an adjustable temp. to be able to melt my solder wire. Temp is ab
