SECTION 1 – Mount ¼” Jacks and Terminal Strip Components
Please refer to DRAWING 1 and DRAWING 2.
Orient box with single centered 5/16" hole on top and ½” hole nearest you.
Mount input jack in 3/8" hole on left side of box with hardware provided.
Washer goes under nut on outside of box. Make sure center solder lug
of input jack is facing up. Correct positioning of jack will make soldering
connections much easier. When positioned correctly, tighten nut.
Mount output jack in 3/8" hole on right side of box with hardware
provided. Washer goes under nut on outside of box. Make sure two
solder lugs are in most upright position before tightening nut.
Mount the terminal strip to the two 9/64" holes as shown in drawing 2.
We will refer to terminal numbers as illustrated below when
connecting components.

Terminal #3 will have six components connected to it. Because of this
we will use both the upper and lower portion of the terminal.

Terminals #1 & 3:
“Anode” to terminal #1
“Cathode” to terminal #3
1) Mount the diodes to the lower set of holes, but do not solder.
Terminals #3 & 5:
“Anode” to terminal #3
“Cathode” to terminal #5

2) Mount one end of the .1µF capacitor to the lower
hole of terminal #3. Now solder the lower set of
holes at terminals #1, 3, and 5.

Connect and solder all of the following to their respective terminals as listed. (Make sure none of
the component leads are so close together that it could lead to an unintended connection). Be
careful not to overheat the solid state devices (diodes and transistor) when soldering.
