How do I dead bug solder this SOT-23 to my PCB?
A quick and simple way of doing this is to flip the SOT23 on its back then solder the side with two pins onto the pads. This will leave the third pin up in the air, and you can then run a short wire down onto its pad. A picture should be worth a thousand words, but this one only runs to about 250 because of the focus, sorry:



The main advantage of this method is that no pins are bent, and only a single short and straight wire is needed, so it is easily removed and the component recovered. Sits within the existing footprint too.
