Do yourself a solid and get a few "SMT Test Sockets" so you don't have to solder them when testing. You just put the chip on and it clamps. They are especially great if you want to test different chips on the fly.
They also make SOT23 adapters for 3-terminal devices where all the connections are brought to one side only. Add a triplet of 90 degree connectors, and you can use it almost like a TO92 device. I use those.
The SOT-23 is a remarkably big and and clunky package in comparison with some. Before I quit doing this stuff I developed a fondness for dual transistors in a 6-pin thin SO package, the designation of which I can't recall. It occupied less board area than a SOT-23. I could get two devices placed on a PCB for the same cost as one and use the part as either two transistors or a transistor and a diode (convenient for driving a relay).
These where the first SMD devices together with BCM847,857 i bought a some years back and i had no idea how small they where and they are still unused in their blister. i blob these devices and later remove excess later with solder wick, but SOT.. devices not yet tried.
Well, this is just a variation of 358, 324, 2905, and certainly modern ones regardless of their packages are sourced by a different tech process than their grandparents of the same designation.

Very nice little video. Thanks for showing the surface mount soldering and making up the adapter. I've been into electronics for decades, but only in the last year have I done much with surface mount. In my teens I could paint tiny models with toothpick or fine brush and I could focus down to the tip of nose. Now, in my late 60s, my hands sometimes shake when I'm trying to do fine things and my eyes losing it both for near and far. If I remember correctly, the gain bandwidth would be specified at the 3 dB down point. So, at 500 kHz you should have 3 db, or 50%, of the calculated gain. You went by it pretty quick, but that looked to be just about what your scope was showing, the gain reduced to about half at 500 kHz.

I just wanted to propose using a breadboard to hold the pins for soldering but I was not fast enough. I always take a special one for the purpose not to ruin the contacts of the good ones but it might be to careful.
I always use a solderless breadboard for this. I solder the 2.54mm header pins first and then place the part. No need for a vice/vise. Furthermore. for DIP adapters I use turned pin machined headers rather than the square pin headers because they slide in and out of the breadboard much more easily, particularly when you have more than a few pins. For SIL I still use the square pins for mechanical rigidity. For soldering the part, I use a flux pen on all pads and solder on corner pin as an anchor, orienting appropriately under a stereo optical microscope. For larger parts, I also solder the diametrically opposite pin too before doing the rest of the pins. Typically I clean the boards in an ultrasonic cleaner too to get rid of any ionic contaminants which will affect hi-z circuits. Residual flux can leak at ITRO 1uA/V. I then use a labelling machine with a 6mm two line label to label the device for future use.
AFAIK, it was Motorola that started the SOT-23 designation for those surface mount packages... but back then, they only had 3 pins (2 on one side, 1 on the other.) For the LM321... it would be SOT-23-5. The JDEC designation for SOT-23 package is TO-236AB.... but not sure if it's TO-236AB for a SOT-23-5 package?
Motorola always went its own way with package designations. The designation was typically 2-4 alphanumeric characters followed by a dash and another 2 or 3 characters, then a "STYLE" designation. I have a ton of old Motorola data, but it is stashed away. I did find one SOT-23 device, the MDC1000BLT1 (an interesting "MOSFET Turn-Off Device with Integral Gate Clamp"). From the datasheet: _MDC1000BLT1_ _CASE 318-07, STYLE 22_ _TO-236AB (SOT-23)_ On the same datasheet a TO-226 (TO-92) is "CASE 29-04,. STYLE 33" A TO-261AA (SOT-223) is "CASE 318E-04, STYLE 6"

The gain-bandwidth-product is one of the speed limitations. The other one is the slew rate. For the LM321 it is 0.4 V/µs. Which is not a lot. In order to generate an output signal with an amplitude A = 2 V amplitude at a frequency f = 500 kHz, you need a slew rate of at least the max(dV(t)/dt) = 2*pi*f*A = 6.28 MV/s = 6.28 V/µs. This is more than one order of magnitude higher that the slew rate of the LM321,
It was most disconcerting to see the ic being soldered to the adaptor, which has a square conventionally marking pin 1, with its pin 1 on the opposite side. The ic has pins 1, 2, 3 on one side with 4, 5 on the other. It's not going to make much difference except for somewhat increasing the chance of mounting it the wrong way round in a test circuit later, once you've forgotten that pin 1 is on the side with 3 pins, and assume that the square marks pin 1.
@@IMSAIGuy Only for sufficiently large signals. For example, if you're using a unity gain buffer with an opamp having a gain-bandwidth product of 1 MHz and a slew rate of 0.4V/μs, then a 2V pk-pk sine wave will indeed be slew rate limited at around 64kHz, but any signal less than about 120mV pk-pk will be bandwidth limited to 1MHz.
Use the Forceps, IMSAI Guy! One of my favorite tools. I learned that from Fran. "Sometimes 'more' makes 'less' easier" - ha, that was a good and true one! It's all about adhesion and cohesion. Don't skimp on flux too. I also use a breadboard for soldering, working fast on just enough pins to keep the part from moving, and doing all the remaining pins out of the board to prevent heat damage.
Sometimes people mis-label the SOT-23-5, as "SOT-25". I've seen that in a few places before. Something to watch out for. Also, I use the same trick of using some breadboard to hold the pins while soldering up those little adapters :)
The second I saw the internal schematic I recognized it is exactly the same as the 358 & 324. I just watched your video #1676 a couple of weeks ago. Nice timing.
I solved the problem of having to use tweezers and adapter boards. I have a stock of thousands of large IC's that will actually drop right into where adapter boards would normally go.
Cant stand soldering left handed. So much so ive been forcing myself to do so. I tell you its not comfortable doing so but way better then flinging parts off the board like i used too. 😂
Maybe, compared to modern rail-to-rail CMOS amps. But when they came out, the LM324/LM358 opamps were so useful because they could accept inputs as low as several hundred millivolts _below_ the negative rail, which was a godsend for small signal, single-rail applications where it didn't matter if they couldn't swing anywhere near the positive rail.
I discovered LM321 some time ago, during a disassembling smd pcb session and now it is an ace up my sleeve when I need a single opamp chip in my schematics. It works great for me! P.s.: don’t you forget a good pair of glasses while soldering it!😅
