microBrute DRSSTC Instruction Manual
69. Install VR49, 1.5KE220CA diode. This device is bi-directional therefore can
be oriented in any direction.
Note:
You may have received directional TVS.
These can be determined by a single white stripe on the device and labeled as
1.5KE220A. In this case, install the device so that the end of the device with the
stripe is pointing towards the “top” of the board. (Where the microBrute
DRSSTC Silkscreened label is located)
70. Install VR50, 1.5KE220CA diode. This device is bi-directional therefore can
be oriented in any direction.
Note:
You may have received directional TVS.
These can be determined by a single white stripe on the device and labeled as
1.5KE220A. In this case, install the device so that the end of the device with the
stripe is pointing towards the “top” of the board. (Where the microBrute
DRSSTC Silkscreened label is located)
71. Install CR43, 6A8 diode. The cathode band on the diode must match that
shown on the silkscreen.
72. Install CR44, 6A8 diode. The cathode band on the diode must match that
shown on the silkscreen.
73. Install D1, Blue LED. The short lead of the diode is the cathode and will
install into the square pad on the PCB board.
74. Install D2, Blue LED. The short lead of the diode is the cathode and will
install into the square pad on the PCB board.
75. Install D21, Red LED. The short lead of the diode is the cathode and will
install into the square pad on the PCB board.
76. Install U1, SN74HC14. This logic IC may be soldered directly to the PCB
without worry, but you may use a 14-pin DIP socket (your own) if you prefer.
Use the same care in soldering such a socket and inserting the IC as you would in
direct soldering of the chip. Note that one end of the IC is marked by a dot,
notch, or band; this end MUST be oriented as shown on the PCB layout.
77. Install U2, SN74HC74. This logic IC may be soldered directly to the PCB
without worry, but you may use an 14-pin DIP socket (your own) if you prefer.
Use the same care in soldering such a socket and inserting the IC as you would in
direct soldering of the chip. Note that one end of the IC is marked by a dot,
notch, or band; this end MUST be oriented as shown on the PCB layout.
78. Install U3, SN74HC08. This logic IC may be soldered directly to the PCB
without worry, but you may use an 14-pin DIP socket (your own) if you prefer.
Use the same care in soldering such a socket and inserting the IC as you would in
