Almost done with the capacitors! Before finishing up
with the Styroflex capacitors, let's clean the PCBs
first:
Clean off any flux or solder residue using
isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush.
When the PCBs have dried completely, solder
all the Styroflex capacitors.
One of them will need one of its legs lifted up
towards ground pin G.
Trim any excess with wire cutters after
soldering.
The orientation of the capacitors
does not matter here.
Do not use the through-hole on the
PCB when lifting the capacitor leg
and solder directly onto the
isolation turret.
Styroflex capacitors can be
sensitive to alcohol so if you do
decide to clean the PCBs, make
sure to do it before this step or
avoid them if already in place.
Try to be brief when heating up the
component with the soldering iron
to avoid overheating the Styroflex.
