the board can act as an inductor or an antenna, causing all sorts of problems in
your circuit. Be aware though that there are stand up components in your
circuit. They don’t need to be squished to the board, but keep the portion of the
resistor closest to the board mounted right on the board.
For each through-hole part, our word "Install" always means these steps:
1. Pick the correct part value to start with.
2. Insert it into the correct PC board location, making sure the part is
mounted flush to the PC board unless otherwise noted.
3. Orient it correctly, follow the PC board drawing and the written directions
for all parts - especially when there's a right way and a wrong way to solder
them in. (Diode bands, electrolytic capacitor polarity, transistor shapes,
dotted or notched ends of IC's, and so forth.)
4. Solder all connections unless directed otherwise. Use enough heat and
solder flow for clean, shiny, completed connections.
Surface Mount part installation:
Check all received parts against the Parts list. The parts list describes the
various markings that may be found on the kit parts.
In the case of a surface mount component, INSTALL means these steps:
•
Dab a small amount of solder on one pad on the PC board of the
component you wish to install. Usually choose pin 1 of ICs.
