Conway,
There is space to solder them. Solder at about the height of the top of
the RPaks, and clip the leads off just above that point so the KSB2
option will fit. Hole the soldering iron tip so that is lots of contact
with the crystal case to maximize the heat transfer.
The solder does not
Don,
The issue is that the ground leads on the left side of the case is between
a resistor pack and the crystal case. There isn't the room to solder the
ground lead after soldering the crystal in place.
Should I solder the ground leads onto the case BEFORE I solder the crystal
onto the PC board?
Conway,
Use a hot soldering iron - 800 deg F - to heat the crystal cases
quickly. Use a flat bladed screwdriver to form the ground leads up
against the crystal case. Then apply the soldering iron (out a bit of
solder on the iron tip to aid heat transfer). Hold the solder on the
crystal can
What is the best way to solder X7-X11 crystals? The instructions say to
solder two ground leads on the side. The ground leads on the left are
between the crystal and the resistor packs.
I think I should solder the ground leads onto the crystals before
soldering the leads onto the crystal case (a
