Component Mounting Slide 12 of 17 Component Mounting Use a third hand to support the p.c.b.
All components mount on the insulating base side of the p.c.b.
Mount the small axial lead components first Components that do not dissipate more than 1 watt are mounted flush against the p.c.b. Large heavy components must be fitted with a clamp to provide support Components that generate more than 1 watt should be mounted half the diameter of the component body above the p.c.b.
