VEC-1320K/1330K/1340K/1380K Owner's 

Manual 

20 

Locate two (2) 470 pF multilayer capacitors (471). 

!

 

!

   8.  Install a 470 pF at C27 and solder. 

!

 

!

   9.  Install a 470 pF at C28 and solder. 

!

 

!

 10.  Find the 1000 pF (or .001 uF) multilayer capacitor (102).  Install at 

C24 and solder. 

Find three (3) 4.7 uH molded chokes (yellow-violet-gold, silver or gold) 

!

 

!

 11.  Install a 4.7 uH at L1 and solder. 

!

 

!

 12.  Install a 4.7 uH at L2 and solder. 

!

 

!

 13.  Install a 4.7 uH at L3 and solder. 

Locate two T50-2 toroid coil forms (½" donut-shaped form, red color code).  
Also, find the #24 enameled coil wire provided with your kit. 

!

 

!

 14. Wind thirty (30) turns of #24 enameled wire onto the T50-2 form.  

Note that turns are counted 

inside

 the form, and each turn is pulled 

tight before winding the next.  Spread the windings out, distributing 
over 80% of the form's circumference. 

!

 

!

 15.  Trim each coil lead to ½" in length and tin with solder. 

!

 

!

 16. Wind a two-turn secondary link of hook-up wire over the center 

portion of the primary winding (two turns passing through the center).  
Install at T1, laying flat--as shown below.  Save unused portion of 
insulated wire--you will need 4" of insulated wire later. 

Primary

Link

 

!

 

!

 17.  Solder T1 in place. 

Find the #22 wire. 

!

 

!

 18.  Wind 16 turns of #22 enameled wire on a T50-2 toroid form.  Spread 

windings for 80% coverage, and install at L4 in an upright position.
