Page 6: Populating The Circuit Board
Populating the Circuit Board STEP 1: Add the resistors. Resistors are not polarized, so it does not matter which end goes in which solder pad. - Page 7 STEP 2: Add the diodes. The 1N4001 will be black with a silver stripe and is highlighted in yellow. The Germanium diodes will go in the spots highlighted in red. Be sure to match the end of the diode with the stripe to the layout on the PCB.
- Page 8 STEP 3: Add the film and ceramic disc capacitors. These are not polarized so they can be inserted into the PCB in either direction. The ceramic disc capacitor is highlighted in yellow.
- Page 9 STEP 4: Add the transistors. Match the flat side of the transistor to the flat side of the layout on the PCB. The 2N3904 transistors are highlighted in red. The 2N3906 transistor is highlighted in yellow.
- Page 10 STEP 5: Add the aluminum electrolytic capacitors. These are polarized. The positive end will have a longer lead and should go in the square solder pad. The negative end will have a shorter lead with a black strip running down the body of the capacitor.
- Page 11 STEP 6: Add the transformer. A transformer has a primary and secondary side. The primary side will be labeled with a “P”. Insert the transformer into the PCB so that the primary side matches the PCB.
- Page 12 Step 7: Add the battery snap. Thread the solder ends of the snap through the under side of the strain relief holes. Insert the stripped ends of the battery snap wires into the topside of their respective solder pads. Remember, the red wire goes in the “+” hole and the black wire goes in the “-”...
- Page 13 Assembly Step 1: Mount the DC adaptor jack to the enclosure. Step 2: Connect the TIP (negative) terminal of the DC adaptor jack to the “-” eyelet on the PCB with 2 inches of hook up wire. Connect the SLEEVE of the DC adaptor jack to the “+”...
- Page 14 center of the PCB with 2” of hookup wire. Step 3: Flip the PCB over so that the bottom or solder side is up. Insert the two potentiometers, the LED, and the toggle switch into the bottom side of the PCB. DO NOT SOLDER!!!There are only two ways in which the toggle switch can fit into the PCB.
- Page 15 Step 4: Hold the PCB in one hand so that the component side of the PCB is in the palm of your hand and the bottom side with the pots, toggle switch and LED is facing up. Now use your other hand to guide the predrilled enclosure onto the PCB assembly so that the pots, toggle switch and LED all go into there respective holes.
- Page 16 Wiring the footswitch, and jacks Step 1: Install the 1/4” jacks to the enclosure. Be sure to turn the OUT jack a 1/4 turn counter clockwise so that solder terminal for the tip does not short out against the enclosure.
- Page 17 Step 2: Cut 4 x 3/4” pieces of wire. Strip 1/8” off each end. These will be used to connect lugs/eyelets 1, 2, 7, & 8 Cut 1 x 1” piece of wire. Strip 1/8” off each end. This will be used to connect lug/eyelet 5 Cut 1 x 1.5”...
- Page 18 Cut 1 x 1.5” piece of wire. Strip 1/4” off each end. This will be used to connect the ring of the IN jack to the ring eyelet on the PCB. Step 3: Solder the wires for the footswitch. Step 4: Remove the PCB assembly from the enclosure. Solder the open ends of the wires that you just soldered to the footswitch to their respective eyelets on the PCB.
