Picture Six: Sample capacitor, surface mount
The capacitor seen in picture six above is surface mounted since its legs are soldered directly to the
surface of the circuit board.
Each type of capacitor has a negative and positive lead. It is very important to make sure that you don’t
get these backwards. The positive terminal should be soldered to the positive terminal on the circuit
board and the negative terminal to the negative terminal on the circuit board. Fortunately the positive
terminal is marked on the circuit board; however the terminals on the capacitor are not marked. This is
discussed on the next page.
