ˆ11. Install R1, 1K ohm [brown-black-red].

ˆ11. Install Q1, the power FET transistor [marked 7035]. Form the leads as shown prior to

installation. Bolt the

regulator to the circuit Tab board.

ˆ 12. Install L1, the large axial leaded wire wound inductor.

ˆ13. Install D1, 1N4937 fast

recovery diode. Observe the correct polarity! Note also that this is another “stand up” diode, so form the leads as before for a proper fit.

ˆ14. Identify Q2, a 2N3904 NPN transistor. When installing Q2, observe correct placement of the flat side. Press the transistor snugly into the PC board so that only a minimum amount of wire lead is exposed above the board. In soldering, do not be afraid of using enough heat to make a good solid connection.

ˆ15. Install R9, 1K ohm [brown-black-red].

That’s it for the switching high current supply! This part of the circuit provides the “muscle” to charge the batteries.

ˆ16. Install LED D3. This component is polarized and must be oriented correctly. Examine the LED and notice how one lead is longer than the other. Most diodes also have a flat mold in one side of the component body. This flat side is on the same side as the shorter leg. When properly installed, the flat side should face towards S2. Leave the diode leads as long as possible, because this component will mount to the front panel as a charging status indicator.

ˆ17. Using scrap component lead, form a “jumper” wire and install it in the JMP2 position. A jumper acts as an electronic bridge to carry power and signal over the traces run underneath.

ˆ18. Form and install another jumper, JMP1.

ˆ19. Install R7, 470 ohm [yellow-violet-brown].

ˆ20. Install R12, 270 ohm [red-violet-brown].

ˆ21. Install R14, 17.8K ohm 1% [brown-violet-grey-red].

ˆ22. Install R16, 10K ohm 1% [brown-black-black-red].
