Cup of tea and soldering check

When you’ve finished doing the resistors, stop and have a cup of tea and spend a few minutes 
looking over your solder joints and making sure everything’s ok so far. 

Power protection diode

Install the fat black 1N4002 diode in the bottom right corner of the PCB. This protects the PCB 
against reverse voltage, so be sure to check the orientation carefully.

IC sockets

All four 8-pin DIP sockets are arranged the same way around down the centre of the PCB. It helps 
to solder only a couple of corner pins first, and then give the socket a check. If it’s sitting correctly 
and orientated the right way around, you can solder the rest of the pins. If not, it’s much easier to 
adjust it with only two pins soldered. Removing IC sockets from plated-through-hole PCBs like this 
one is difficult and not recommended.

Regulator

The 78L05 +5V regulator REG1 is in the bottom right corner next to the power protection diode. 
Be sure to line up the flat side and the curved side with the markings on the PCB. Don’t mix it up 
with the similar-looking transistor. 

Transistor

The 2N3904 transistor TR1 is in the centre row, far left. Again, be sure to line up the flat side and 
the curved side with the markings on the PCB.

Ceramic bypass capacitors

There are three 100n ceramic power supply bypass capacitors, one beside the FLANGE chip, and 
two more one either side of the 5V regulator you just fitted. These are 

not

 the 100n film caps on 

the bottom row far left. Don’t mix them up!

Film capacitors

There are quite a few of these. Take your time.

• 100n (104, 0.1u) capacitor x 2 - bottom row, far left
• 1n (102, 0.001u) capacitor x 1 - bottom row, centre left
• 150p (150) capacitor x 2 - one on the top row, one on the bottom, both centre left
• 33n (333, 0.033u) capacitor x 1 - top row, far left
