Why is it that the smallest components are always the ones you drop in the workshop? Now, can anyone see that last 3mm pogo pin anywhere? #workshopBlackHole #clumsy #soldering #repairmovement #RepairReuseRecycle #garmin #fixing #missing

SMD soldering using the sun.
it works astonishingly well. the trick is to de-focus the spot and light up the whole PCB. first we failed by heating the metal plate underneath with a highly focused spot. but that led to accidentally burnt PCB spots at corners and didn't melt the paste.
it works so much better than using a hot plate, so I officially declare it state of the art as of today.

So many articles on how to attach a cable to a BNC connectors, and not a single one on the order of mounted ones.
What is the right order once you have put the connector into the box?
Washer first? Soldering thingie first?
