BUILDERS NOTES (ctd)
Diodes
-
A diode has 2 sides - a Cathode and Anode. The Cathode side of a diode has a circular band printed around
the body of the component to aid identification. The PCB is printed to also showing this this marking to aid
correct orientation. Zener Diodes are sensitive to heat & static so take care when handling / soldering, or
maybe consider use of sockets for mounting.
Resistors
-
Resistors are not polarised so can be mounted either way around.
Non Polarised Capacitors-
Non-Polarised capacitors can be mounted either way around.
Potentiometers -
The potentiometers should be mounted onto the topside of the PCB with it splined shaft facing outwards.
Please refer to the picture later in this document if in doubt.
