Enclosure and wiring Step 4 of 4

Mount the assembled PCB and the rest of the components (DC jack, input/output jacks, 9V battery clip, 3PDT foot switch, led...) in a metal enclosure. Connect the ground of the circuit to the enclosure (the ground of the jacks are in contact with the enclosure). The following figures show the components mounted in both 1590A and 1590B enclosures.

Use an ADHESIVE holder to secure the PCB in place.

 

 

WIRING

Use a 24 AWG stranded wire to connect all components as shown in the following figure. The order in which you connect the ground (GND) does not matter, as long as all components are eventually connected. The figure below shows the wiring for a negative-tip DC connector.
