RAINBOX RO SoldERING MANUAL 7. Use the same technique to solder all the other SMD components: a. 2 diodes (be aware of the polarity) b. 2 capacitors (grey components – no print) of 22pF c. 9 leds – be aware of the polarity – the side of the led that misses a small triangular corner is the cathode (- side) WWW.
