2.10 Big Transistors
The six big transistors are located in close proximity to the 3 A-fuses and form together
with them the circuit of the digital outputs.
Same as with the fuses, here is to take care, that the components are getting put to as
deep as possible through the board. (as in Figure 57). Are the transistor standing to hight
in the board, it can lead to problems with the montage of the metal housing later!
It is to look for the mounting position. On one side the component has a flap with a drill.
This side is marked on the circuit board (white stripe - Figure 55).
Direct touching of the connection wires with the hands should be
avoided. By electrostatic load the transistors can be damaged.
ESD-shoes or ESD-straps are helpful here.
