</span>Nah, that's a pretty big part. I place parts like that on prototype<br>
boards by hand with tweezers under my inspection microscope fairly<br>
routinely (lots of MEMS sensors are in this size range these days).<br>
It's important to have a decent stencil and fresh, fine particle solder<br>
paste. And a steady hand, of course...<br>
