2.8 Connecting and Mounting the IEC Board
Again, referencing the diagrams on the previous page,
Push the crimped ends of the Red and Black wires coming from the IEC board onto the left (wider
spaced) lugs of the Rocker Switch, Red on top, Black below. Apply the pressure necessary to
position the wires correctly onto the lugs.
Using the prepared Blue–Brown

twisted and crimped pair of wires, connect the IEC socket: Blue
(Neutral) from the middle lug, Brown (Live/Hot) from the top lug — to the right (narrower
spaced) lugs of the Rocker Switch, Blue on top, Brown below. Again, apply the pressure necessary
to position the crimps correctly onto the lugs.
Take the Green wire that is prepared at one end with a ground lug and at the other end with a
crimp. Attach it to the bottom lug of the IEC socket.
Next, let's test these important connections. Using your multimeter's Continuity setting, verify the
following:

IEC Socket Ground to Chassis Ground

IEC Socket Neutral to IEC PCB White solder tab
 IEC Socket Line (Hot) to IEC PCB Black–Grey Solder tab
Finally, mount the IEC PCB to the back of the amplifier above the Mains transformer: use a 30 mm
M3 screw, a short standoff, then the PCB, another short standoff, and finally the plastic
insulating board and a nut.

Or whatever color we've supplied. Again, it's the connections that matter, not the color.
