Funny you should use that example. I have a system where that could be an issue we hadn't anticipated. Now I have to check, thanks.

Keeping with the "unconventional" theme, lips are more sensitive to temperature than fingers, but make sure you don't burn your fingers before you try kissing the chip. With practice, your lips can tell which 0402 passive is getting hotter than others. Or you can buy a thermal camera.
