Hello,  
I’d like to practice soldering and de-soldering SMD 1206 resistors, I’ve ordered it but I want a PCB board along with it to practice. Would someone please link a suitable one for me? Thanks.

Another option is using any 0.1" perf board. A 1206 is relatively huge as far as SMD resistors go. Our new [SOLDERBREAD#02-ND](https://www.digikey.com/short/n8pj7mjh) can help if you choose to venture below 0603 as we placed special pads at the ends for that…(from the datasheet…)

There are also tips at the end of that document, if helpful…
