IC’s
aka
‘chips’
IC’s
are small packages that contain many components. The ones that you will find in this kit will
have 8, or 16 legs.
On the PCB pin 1 will be marked with a * and there will be a small notch
drawn on the footprint. The solder pad for pin 1 will be square. The
socket will also have a notch. Be careful with the pins, they are fragile.
This is a socket. I do try to supply sockets for the chips, so unless I am
out of stock you should have one per chip. Solder these in place without
the chip, totally protecting the chip from heat. Please check you have all
pins through the pads before you begin soldering the socket.
Switches
This kit includes SPDT toggles.
They are used for a variety of matters within the circuit, simply
switching between different routes the circuit paths needs to take to
alter the tone.
The switch can go either way round, in this case the correct connection
of the center pin is essential with the outside lugs able to be used for
either side.
