I generally like to solder sockets to my boards, rather than the chip directly, but am now forced to solder the chips directly. I have several DIP and SMD components that this needs to be done with.
I am concerned that the heat from soldering them might damage the chips so was wondering how I could heat sink them? Is this even necessary?
It doesn't apply to me right now, but how is this done with other packages?
Answer
I have used these tips to get started with SMD soldering. Until now I have not found it necessary to drain heat as long as you mind where you put the soldering iron tip and don't apply heat any longer than needed.

PS: This article may help as well, it seems to be quite good:
