STEP-BY-STEP CONSTRUCTION
In these instructions, when you see the term install, this means to locate, identify,
and insert the part into its mounting holes on the PC board. This includes pre-
bending or straightening leads as needed so force is not required to seat the part.
Once a component is mounted, bend each lead over to hold it in place. Use
sharp side-cutters to clip off excess lead length before soldering. Make sure
trimmed leads don't touch other pads and tracks, or a short circuit may result:
Good
Not Good
The term solder means to solder the part's leads in place, and to inspect both (or
all) solder connections for flaws or solder bridges. Nip off excess protruding
leads with a sharp pair of side cutters.
This kit has 25 fixed-value resistors. Mount these now, starting with the smallest
value and moving to the largest. Before mounting each one, carefully bend both
leads close to the resistor body to form right-angles, as shown below:
