Always remove MELF components according to the procedure described on the next page, Replace MELE components with the Iead type components. MELF components are soldered directly to the surface of the printed cireuit board MELF resistors and capacitors have the same «dimensions and are distinguished by their background colors: light brown for resistors, and pink or light green for capacitors. ‘The MELF resistor color coding is the same ax for conventional resistors, and MELF capacitor color coding is the same as for tube-type ceramic capacitors Note, however, that all MELF resistors are rated at %W and 45%, Components larger than resistors and without colar code are cross conductors, which are used instead of jumper wires. 1.

Bring the flat surface of the soldering irom in equal contact with both soldered ends of the component. ‘The solder should melt in about 4 seconds. (The solder will melt more readily if a small amount of solder is attached to the iron tip and the iron tip & placed against the component.) ‘Once the solder has melted, tap the component aside with the tip of the soldering iron, and remove it from the board, * ‘ron tp: es o otccerode solder per printed circuit Bosra pattern coment printed circurt board Fig. 4 4 Use lead type resistors or capacitors to replace the MELF components.
