Re: SPI flash - simtrace

6 May 2011

Hi,

I never tried WSON, but I think it's still possible to solder it.
To do it (as most of the smd), I use a heating plate and a hot air gun
(with soldering paste), and not a soldering iron. So it might also work
with this package.
But the SOIC package is easier for others. Even it's it two time the
price, it's not too expensive.

So you can choose any.

  Hi!

 I think one of the big concerns is to use components that can still be
 soldered manually (like SOIC-8).   All the larger-than-32MBit (4MByte)
 SPI flashes that I could find were in smaller cases with no leads
 extending from the case (like WSON).

 This one looks fine to me, and is available from digikey:
