> Sometimes we need to attach a wire (for monitoring a serial or I2C interface, or for timing instrumentation) to a surface-mount IC where the pins are VERY close together. The pins are so close together that I can't solder a wire to it, even using high-power optics and the finest soldering iron tip available. > > Are there any special tools, equipment, training, or techniques that might help with this? You didn't state any specific dimensions so it's hard to answer with specifics. Perhaps a hot air soldering station would be useful if you don't trust your narrow soldering tip. Hot air will reflow the adjacent pins. Using hot air is tricky if you've never done it before. It can be practiced. I've found that the narrow Metcal tips just don't carry enough heat for good results for individual pin soldering. JJS
