What's the best way to solder a smd led 0805 size?
I just bought like 150 and while I have plenty to spare, id rather not destroy a few figuring it out
- Put a little solder on one pad.
- Put the LED on top and apply flux
- Use the iron to reflow the solder and gently push down the LED (using tweezers) so it sits flat on the board and now makes a connection
- Solder the other side.
or....
- Put the LED on the board and hold in place with tweezers.
- Apply flux.
- Put a little solder on the iron then touch it to the pad so the solder flows onto the LED and the pad.
- Solder the other side
- Go back and re-solder the first side if necessary (or just add a little flux and reheat with the iron)

Even going in well prepared, be ready to lose a few in the learning processing.
