Phase 4: Multilayer Capacitors
There are 9 multilayer capacitors provided with your kit.
Important Note: A multilayer capacitor is similar to a surface-mount "chip"
capacitor, except that it has a lead spot-welded onto each end of the capacitor
body. Multilayers have superior operating characteristics, but the lead welds
may fail if the device is over-stressed. For this reason, never use force to seat a
multilayer cap into the PC board. If the spacing isn't right, pre-form the leads to
the correct spacing before installation!
