[title] Solder The New Capacitor | |
[* black] Be conscious of the orientation of the new capacitor. Electrolytic capacitors like this one are polarized and will only work in one direction. | |
- | [* black] Notice that I am using a capacitor with the same capacitance, but a higher voltage rating. This only increases the voltage the capacitor can handle before failing, it does not raise the voltage of the circuit. It |
+ | [* black] Notice that I am using a capacitor with the same capacitance, but a higher voltage rating. This only increases the voltage the capacitor can handle before failing, it does not raise the voltage of the circuit. It is important not to use a lower value, however. Be sure to use the correct capacitance (1000uF). |
[* black] The grey line indicates which side is negative. The negative side also typically has a shorter lead. On the board, the "shaded" half of the circle with the hashmarks is the negative side. | |
[* black] Insert the new capacitor and bend the legs outward to help hold it in place when you turn the board over. | |
[* black] Solder the leads and clip the excess length. |
