Anyone know a source for 0603 and 0805 "Stick-on" component pads? A number of our development boards require mods (don't they always), which often involves adding extra passive components that weren't anticipated during the original board routing. Rather than have loads of epoxy bonding down the extra parts, I want to try using proper pads that I can solder to. I know they're out there somewhere. Supplementary question: these pads are usually fitted to a board using a bonding press or bonding iron. Can anyone clue me in on techniques for using these things to fit said pads? Or can they be fitted with less specialised tools, normally found in an assembly shop? Terribly grateful as ever for a share of the group know-how.
