wm8804 spdif digital audio receiver/transmitter on a chip carrier
my own soldering. the so-called 'flood and suck' method really works well even though its looked down on, by soldering professionals.
lay a thick bead of solder along all the pins and be messy as you want about it. then use some solder wick and flux, cradle the hot soldering iron in the curve of the fluxed braid-wick and run the heated wick along the wires. careful not to press too hard or you will scrape off the pc board 'resist' (insulation). if you have good flux flowing in the procedure, the right amount of solder will stay on the board and pins and the rest will be wicked up, very neatly.
the outer chip-carrier board pins are standard 0.1" spacing. the black foam thing, above, is anti-static.
