Now it is time to solder in the three electrolytic capacitors. These
components must be placed the correct way round or else the
circuit will fail. Each capacitor has a positive lead, which has the
longer lead, and a negative lead, marked by a white or grey stripe
on the body. In Figure 5, the longer lead (+ve) and white stripe (-
VE) can be clearly seen.
Figure 5: C5, C2, C1
Place each component with the longer lead on the hole marked ‘+’.
Solder in and trim the leads. See figure 6 below:
