Step 5

Solder IC sockets. Match the IC sockets indent (marking pin 1 side) with the silk screens.

If you feel the least uncertain on the IC direction, please search the web for IC orientation.

U2, U3

 14 pin DIP sockets (DIP-14) IC's will be mounted later. 2pcs

U4

 16 pin DIP socket (DIP-16) 1pcs

 

Step 6

Solder electrolytic capacitors. Electrolytic capacitors are sensitive to mounting direction. Put 
the long pin in the hole marked with a + (anode) on the silkscreen.

The opposite side - (cathode) is marked with fully filled silkscreen.

C13, C14

 10µF 2pcs

 

Step 7

Solder transistors, transistors are sensitive to mounting direction. Match the curved side on the

transistor with the curved side in the silkscreen.
