Carefully press a tweezer point or the tip of a spudger on top of the component to hold it in place.

The soldering iron will spill a lot of heat around the point of contact, which can easily loosen surrounding components. Be careful not to bump the surrounding parts with your tools.

Touch the soldering iron tip to the solder pad and the component. Once the pad heats up, it will draw the molten solder onto itself.

This should happen within a few seconds. If the solder doesn't adhere to the pad, apply more flux to the pad or increase the temperature.

Don't heat continuously more than 10 seconds at a time, or the heat may damage the component and solder pad. Allow the circuit board to cool down, then try again.

Remove the tip from the solder joint.

Repeat this process for the rest of the component leads.
