, 0.5 W . Solder in place. Note that the form factor of this component is
typically larger than a common 1/2-watt resistor. It may be necessary, therefore, to mount
this component about 1/8-inch above the PWB in order to accommodate the leads.
– Install R5 – 220 k

, 0.5 W . Solder in place.
Figure 5.1 Recommended procedure for mounting the quick-disconnect tabs on the PWB: ( a )
insert the tap using pliers and carefully work it into the board, ( b ) position the tab so it is
