Bi-Polar Electrolytic Capacitors and Trimmers

Figure 5 - Bi-Polar Electrolytic Capacitors and Trimmers Placement.

Mounting the two bi-polar electrolytic capacitors and the two trimmers has to be done quite accurately as they essentially become the 'feet' that the circuit board sits on when mounted inside the ClipCop.  It is essential that they sit flush up against the circuit board.  It is also essential that the two trimmers are squarely placed on the board, and not rotated in any way, as their screw head will eventually need to poke through two tiny holes in the case.  The best way of accomplishing this is to insert the components, cover and invert them as previously described.  However before you solder their leads, get down and visually inspect them to make sure that nothing got moved in the inversion process.  Adjust as necessary, solder and trim.
