Small Protection Capacitors

Figure 4 - Protection Capacitors Placement

The next components to mount onto the circuit board are the 6 small protection capacitors.  These actually come in two slightly different types.  Some come with their leads spaced 1/10" apart and others come with their leads spaced 2/10" apart.  the protection capacitors shown in Figure 1 are of the 1/10" spacing type.  However, you will see that the circuit board has additional holes to accommodate the 2/10" spacing types also.  Determine which ones you have by seeing which holes they fit and insert all six of them.

As previously, cover over the component side of the circuit board with the non-slip matting, invert the board and solder the protection capacitor leads to the circuit board.  Trim off the excess leads flush with the circuit board.
