Now for transistors. There are three types of transistor in the kit
Designators on PCB Type Notes
Q1, Q2 2SC945P
NPN (Marked “945P” or
“C945”)
Q3, Q4 2N3906 PNP
Q5, Q6 2N3904 NPN
It is very important not to mix them up (or you might let the magic smoke
out of them as soon as you apply power!). There is an extra 2N3904 in the
kit
– hang on to it to use for mods…
When you solder them, make sure the “D” shape of the case lines up with
the D shaped marking on the board
– you need to bend or splay the legs a
little to get them into the holes on the board. When soldered, the transistors
should sit above the board by a few millimetres.
