, making sure that the shape of the transistor follows
the silk-screen outline on the PCB. Here’s an easy way to do it.
1. Cut the transistors leads close to the tape. This leaves them as long as possible
without having to deal with the adhesive from the tape.
2. Insert the ten transistors into the PCB.
3. Place and hold a piece of cardboard over the PCB, then flip the cardboard and
PCB in one smooth motion.
4. The transistors will fall down, but their height above the board is nicely set by the
heights of components already installed on the board.
5. Make sure that the transistor leads are straight up and down, then solder all the
transistor leads.
