Control PCB assembly
1.
Solder all resistors
2.
Solder the 1uF capacitor
–
remember to lie it down as shown in the photo below (this
capacitor is tired).
3.
Place all pots and the switch on the PCB, and fold over their mounting tabs at the rear of the
PCB, then place the panel over them. This will assure that they are correctly positioned. Flip
the whole lot over and solder the pots into place.
4.
Place all sockets on the PCB, making sure the ground tabs line up with the PCB’s ground
pads, then place the panel over them. This will assure that the sockets are correctly
positioned. Flip the whole lot over and solder the sockets into place.
5.
Put the LED through its pads. Present the panel to the PCB, flip the whole lot over, make
sure the LED stick though the holes in the panel, solder in place.
6.
Cut female headers to size and solder them into place. Make sure that they stick out of the
bottom of the PCB.
Note: Not all pots and sockets are equal in height. Providing you use the ones in the links provided,
everything will line up perfectly.
Make
sure that you plug the
Main PCB
into the
Pots ‘n’ sockets PCB
the right way around
–
Frequency Central logo should be the right way up.
