1c. Solder capacitors to the PCB
Capacitor Identification Guide
The small-value ceramic capacitors may be installed
in either orientation, but the larger-value cylindrical
capacitors (C4, C8, C10, C14, C16, C18, C19) must
be installed with the proper polarity.
240 = 24 pF
102 = 0.001
103 = 0.01
104 = 0.1
154 = 0.15
The polarity is indicated on the PCB by a “+” sign near
one end of the capacitor location. The polarity is
indicated on the body of the capacitor with a stripe
with a minus (-) sign located on the negative side of
the capacitor. Also, the shorter lead is the negative
lead.
To install a capacitor, insert the leads in the appropriate holes and press
the capacitor down near the PCB. Solder using the same technique as
used for resistors.
The polarity is not marked on the component side of the
board for capacitor C10. The proper polarity is indicated here.
NOTE: There may be some variation in capacitor markings due to
using different suppliers.
