IC-sockets
Let's start with the sockets for the ICs. Each
socket has a small notch on one of it's shorter
sides. This notch must match the printed
outline of the socket on the pcb. See upper
photo to the right.
The notch can also be found on the IC and
tells you, where pin 1 of the IC can be found,
which in fact is important. A wrongly attached
IC gets a wrong power supply which might
destroy the chip! Some ICs have a notch,
others have a small circular indentation on
the top of the body to mark their pin 1.
Attach the sockets according to the printed
outline on the pcb now. Start by just soldering
one leg in a corner. Have a look from all sides
to ensure, the IC is lying perfectly flat on the
pcb and solder the other legs.
Pay attention not to solder two adjacent legs
together like in the middle photo. All legs
should be separate like in the lower pic.
