<p>89.207.240.235: acelboe</p> <hr /> <div>bassitr<br /> '''Manhattan style'''<br /> is one popular way to build ham radio electronics.<br /> It involves small &quot;pads&quot;, typically circular dots roughly 3 mm diameter punched out of plain copper-clad board.<br /> <br /> The pads are super-glued onto the &quot;substrate&quot;, a large copper-clad board.<br /> Each component is mounted right-side-up by soldering its pins to pads.<br /> <br /> The builders try to make each pad represent one node in the schematic -- every pin that connects to that node is soldered to one pad, when possible.<br /> When it's not possible, hook-up wire is used to connect pad-to-pad and pad-to-DIP-socket-pin.<br /> <br /> Each ground pin of a component is soldered directly to the substrate.<br /> <br /> K7QO has an excellent description of the technique:<br /> http://www.k7qo.net/manart.pdf<br /> <br /> ''(FIXME: put a photograph here)''<br /> <br /> [[Category:Techniques]]</div>
