Then, on the top side, check that the
socket is level and
fl
ush to the board.
As before, solder all of the pins
on the back side.
(And, do not insert any of the chips
just yet– we’ll do that later.)
One at a time, install the DIP sockets in
locations U2 and U3 (as well as U5, if building a
Blue or White kit), using the same method used
for the 40-pin socket. Again take care to match
the notches to those on the circuit board
Parts
#9
and
#10
are 24-pin and 16-pin DIP
Sockets, respectively. Blue/White Alpha Clock
Five kits also include a
#11
, a 14-pin DIP socket.
Note that each has a notch at one end to mark
the polarity.
Then, solder the rest of the socket pins.
To begin with, solder just two opposite
corner pins of the 40-pin socket.
