PCB SCHEMATIC

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS

Resistors

Resistors don't have polarity, so you can place them in any direction. Determine their resistance value by using a multimeter or by reading the color bands.

Electrolytic capacitors

Electrolytic capacitors have their value and maximum voltage rating printed on the body. The negative pin is indicated by a white stripe along the can, and it also has a shorter leg. The longer leg is positive. Never exceed the maximum voltage rating. Ensure the capacitor's voltage rating is at least double that of your power supply (e.g., use an 18V capacitor for a 9V power supply).

Polyester capacitors

Polyester capacitors don't have polarity and can be placed in any direction. Their value is marked using a three-number code. The first two numbers represent the first and second digits of the value, and the third number is the multiplier code (read in picofarads, pF).

Diodes

Diodes have their model number printed on them. The polarity (cathode) is indicated by a stripe or ring near one end. This ring corresponds to the polarity marking on the PCB.

Transistors

Transistors are three-terminal components with their model number printed on them. To ensure correct orientation, one side of the transistor's body is flat while the other is curved.

Potentiometers

Potentiometers have their resistance value marked on them. They are also marked with a letter to indicate their taper: A for logarithmic, B for linear, and C for reverse logarithmic.
