#oggstreamer – Batch Assembling 40pcs.(2) – THT Soldering

We received our PCBs from the manufacturer with all SMT Parts presolderd, but we still had to solder the THT Parts – The following two videos shows this process. Warning: You will see some improvised soldering … 🙂

#oggstreamer – Batch Assembling 40pcs.(1) – LineOut Jack

Today we assembled around 40 front panels – like these ones:

the assembly of the cable to the Jack has been done before. Today we did the following steps:

1. Removing the anodized aluminium at the corners so that the screws make a proper electrical connection to the main body

2. Removing that anodized aluminium at the back of the front panel to ensure a proper grounding of the LineOut Jack

3. Cutting a piece of copper tape (approx. 2,5cm)

4. Making an additional cut to copper tape – this is where we will make the solder joint to the Jack

5. Applying the copper tape to the back of the front panel (be careful with the orientation of the cut for the solider joint)

6. Cutting the hole in the copper tape

7. Inserting the Jack (once again check orientation)

8. Place the plastic washer and the plastic nut on the Jack

9. Mount gently the plastic nut

10.Bend the cutout of the copper tape so it touches the first Pin (GND) of the Jack …

11. … and solder it

12. Solder the first capacitor (10nF 100V)

13. Solder the second capacitor (10nF 100V)

The final result:

Stay tuned for more Batch Assembling 40pcs. photo-series and videos … 🙂
