Cut of the excess piece of wire from the solder point with a side cutter.

OK well done so far, looking good!

Now continue winding the other two - L1 and L3, they have the same number of turns, again look in the low
pass filter table to find out how many turns to wind.

Use the same procedure that you used for L2 to wind, trim leads, tin leads and finally solder in to the board.

Страница 4: ...acturing There are two capacitance values in the filter C1 and C4 are smaller in value than C2and C3 The exact value depends on the frequency band the filter is made for To find the value check the SMD low pass filter table in the appendix As an example for a 20m filter C1 C4 are 180pico Farad and C2 C3 are 390pcio Farad As a memory guide to aid in placing the correct values think Higher value cap...
