14. Pin header

Solder the 6 pins header CN1. Solder one pin first, check verticality, then solder the other pins.

Warning 

: Make sure the pin are perfectly vertical. This is important for a good position of the DI jack.

15. Ceramic capacitors

Add C2, C8, C12, C15, C17.

Warning

 : Some capacitors have provision for 2 sizes. Small size capacitors must be 

inserted in the correct holes as shown in the picture.

16. Small film capacitors

Add C3, C16.

17. Polymer fuses

Solder the 2 resettable fuses PTC1 and PTC2.

18. Electrolytic capacitor C21

Insert the electrolytic capacitor C21 and lay it down flat on the PCB. Solder.

Warning

 : The +lead must go into the +hole. Do not reverse.
