PSU-2448mk2 Power Supply Kit
Basic Tools Required
A few basic tools are required to build this kit.
1.
Soldering iron – adjustable temperature recommended, but not necessary. Your soldering iron must have a sharp
conical tip. I do not recommend a “flat-head, screwdriver-type” soldering iron.
DO NOT USE A 100 WATT SOLDERING
GUN
. They are overkill for this project and you may damage the small parts.
2.
Mini Pliers Cutter – to cut component leads, wires, strip insulation o
ff
wires (if you don’t have a wire-stripper tool).
3.
Mini Long Nose Pliers – to bend component leads, use as a heatsink, hold components, tighten bolts.
4.
Manual Solder sucker pump – sucks up solder when you made a mistake soldering components on the PCB. Primitive
operation, but it works… kind of.
5.
Multitester – A simple meter/tester to measure resistance, and voltages. A digital read-out is a big help.
6.
Soldering Lead – 60/40 lead or lead-free solder.
