Next, insert the first DIP socket, hold it in

place and solder one of the pins. Continue

with the next DIP socket. Make sure the DIP

sockets are oriented correctly – the notch

on the socket should match the notch on the

PCB’s silkscreen. Now, turn the PCB around

and solder all remaining pins of the DIP

sockets. Then proceed with the ceramic

capacitors. Place the PCB in your PCB

holder or on spacers, insert the capacitors

and solder them like you did with the

resistors & diodes before. Now your PCB

should look like this:

In order to save space on the PCB, some of our projects, including the VCF, have vertically

placed resistors. The next step is to place & solder those. Bend a resistor’s legs so that its

body is aligned with both legs and insert it in its designated spot. Then solder the longer lead

from the top side of the PCB to secure it in place, turn the PCB around and solder the other

lead from the bottom. You can insert several resistors at once. Once done with soldering, use

pliers to cut off excess leads.
