The diodes have a defined mounting direction, which has to be abided. The white ring on
the diode is too found on printing on the circuit board. Die BAT41-diodes have a blue basic
body and because of this a black ring as mark.
The P6KE35CA-diode has no defined mounting direction. It doesn't matter in which
direction this component will be mounted.
With the diodes it is the same procedure as with the LEDs:
Insert, bend connection wires, soldering and if necessary positioning, cutting long
connection wires at the bottom side near the soldering joint.
