10.
Now using tweezers or snipe
nose pliers - take the voltage
regulator and position it flat on
the surface of the PCB as
shown.
Then re-heat the pad that we
already applied solder to, and
when the solder is heated - slide
the regulator into position so that
the three pins line up with the
other pads (see next image). If
you don’t manage this first time
round you can re-flow the solder
and reposition the regulator
again.
NOTE!
Make
sure
the
component
is
flush
and
perpendicular to the PCB
surface as you slide it in place.
NOTE:
Do not heat this part excessively
or you will damage it, you should be
aiming to solder quickly and neatly.
11.
Once you have positioned the
regulator it should look as
shown.
