microBrute DRSSTC Instruction Manual
32. Install C11, 1uF capacitor (marking BC105 or 105 or M39014/02-1407 or
M39014/02-1415)
33. Install C21, 1uF capacitor (marking BC105 or 105 or M39014/02-1407 or
M39014/02-1415)
34. Install C22, 100pF capacitor (marking BC101 or 101 or M39014/01-1219V)
35. Install C27, 100pF capacitor (marking BC101 or 101 or M39014/01-1219V)
36. Install C14, 10uF, 50V electrolytic capacitor. C14 has “polarity.” Polarity
means the capacitor must be inserted a certain way. You may notice that one side
of the capacitor, there is a black stripe with minus signs. This is the negative end.
Looking at the PCB silkscreen, you will notice the positive side marked. Install
this capacitor into the board ensuring the positive side of the capacitor installs in
the hole that is marked positive on the PCB layout.
37. Install C17, 10uF, 50V electrolytic capacitor. Install this capacitor into the
board ensuring the positive side of the capacitor installs in the hole that is marked
positive on the PCB layout.
38. Install C24, 10uF, 50V electrolytic capacitor. Install this capacitor into the
board ensuring the positive side of the capacitor installs in the hole that is marked
positive on the PCB layout.
39. Install C28, 10uF, 50V electrolytic capacitor. Install this capacitor into the
board ensuring the positive side of the capacitor installs in the hole that is marked
positive on the PCB layout.
40. Install C6, 10uF, 35V tantalum capacitor (marked 106 35). Install this
capacitor into the board ensuring the positive side (marked “+”) of the capacitor
installs in the hole that is marked positive on the PCB layout. The square pad is
the positive side.
41. Install C8, 10uF, 35V tantalum capacitor (marked 106 35). Install this
capacitor into the board ensuring the positive side (marked “+”) of the capacitor
installs in the hole that is marked positive on the PCB layout. The square pad is
the positive side.
42. Install CR21, 1N4148 diode. The cathode band on the diode must match that
shown on the silkscreen.
