CERAMIC DISK AND MYLAR CAPACITORS
Many of the capacitors used in Theremax are
nonpolarized Ceramic Disk and Mylar types. For
all of these, either lead can go in either of the
holes in the circuit board. The leads of the
Ceramic Disk and Mylar capacitors are already
parallel to each other but still may need to be bent
slightly to match the spacing of the circuit board
holes. Like the resistors, insert the leads of
these parts through the holes in the board and
push the part against the circuit board as far as it
wants to go. Don't force it, it's OK if it sits a little
off the board. Solder each capacitor in place as it
is installed and clip the excess leads off flush with
the solder joint.
Four of the disk capacitors are temperature
stable NPO types. These are separately packed
and should be used only where NPO types are
specified.
Capacitors are often marked with obscure codes
that indicate their values. The 3 digit number that
specifies value may be preceded or followed by
letters indicating such things as tolerance. If you
get confused about which capacitors are which, it
may help to group them by same type and check
them against quantities on the packing list on the
back page of this manual.
