Title: Capacitor help - mangler
Post by: roark on August 23, 2014, 10:03:57 PM
Building a Mangler. Soldering the capacitors - C1 and C2. Not sure which way they go. One side of the capacitor has an indent. Want to make sure I put it in right. C1 goes one direction and C2 goes the opposite. Anyone know how to tell which way to install? Please let me know and thanks!

without seeing your caps ....

the square pads on the board are positive ... the long leg of the cap goes to the square pad

with axial caps, the indent is positive side -- check the build doc

does that help?

They are axial. I think I'm set - thank you so much!  :D
