There is one special case – the second to last diode has a top-mount pad, in order to fit the
expansion jack below. Cut one lead as shown below, so that it rests evenly on the PCB fit into
the mounting hole.
Solder the short end of the diode that was just trimmed on the top side of the PCB. Once all
diodes are soldered, it should be virtually unnoticeable from the rest. After soldering all 72
diodes, clean with rubbing alcohol and use the snips to clip the leads as close to the PCB as
possible.
