Take the second PCB from the front side, we’re going to solder two diodes. Be attentive to their orientation, the thick white line on the PCB silkscreen has to match the black line on the component. DEPHT • www.shakmat.com 05/14... -

All the resistors are mounted perpendicularly to the PCB, so only one of the leg has to be bent. Be careful not to bend too far from the resistor’s body, because this can lead to short-circuits with the aluminium front panel. • www.shakmat.com 06/14... -

Save the longest trimmed leg for the next step. 5.1.7 Resistor leg bridge Bend a trimmed resistor leg in a U shape. Pass it through the two holes on the front of the top PCB and solder it on the back side. • www.shakmat.com 07/14... -

Then place the female part on the SMD PCB and the male part on the top PCB. Then assemble the two boards toghether and finally once everything is fitted, solder. • www.shakmat.com 08/14... -

For this connector, you need to cut about three millimeters off the outer ground leg (as shown in the picture above) in order to be able to solder correctly to the adjacent pin header. • www.shakmat.com 09/14... -
Page 11: Power Header
This little stud prevents the front panel DEPHT from sitting properly. Use some sharp cutting pliers for this task. Then, you can place the potentiometers on the board and solder. • www.shakmat.com 10/14... -

(one on Time potentiometer & one on Out 2) then push the LEDs through their holes until they sit flush with the panel by sticking to the tape. Once everything is in place, you can solder all the LEDs. • www.shakmat.com 11/14... -
