Polyvaricon installation to kits ordered after 01/20/18
As received
Modified
The polyvaricons as received, need a modification to allow the leads to reach the bottom of the device
so it can be soldered to the pcb. If bent without modifying the cover, all the leads will not reach. Shown
above is the un-modified polyvaricon as received.
Carefully unsnap the protective cover. Deepen all three slots for the connection tabs by ~1/8” with an
Exacto knife as shown on the right. Snap the cover back on, and run the leads on the outside of the
cover.
Shown below the modified cover is snapped back on and the leads are bent to the bottom. It is now
ready for installation. As you can see, one of the leads is shorter than the others and may need to be
soldered on the top of the board. This is not a problem with plated through holes.
