Your formed legs now looking like this and
ready to be dropped into the board.
Find the location of ‘R1’ on the board and
drop the resistor into the holes from
above. It is good practice (but not
necessary) to orientate the resistors so
that the colour codes either read from left
to right, or from bottom to top. This just
makes repairs and fault-finding further
down the line a little easier…
With the resistor dropped in, make sure it
is seated all the way down and touching
the top of the board at both ends. Now
gently bend the legs open underneath so
as to temporarily hold the component in-
place whist you load the rest.
