101 assembly question

101 assembly question

2002-01-19 by gooboworks

Since Paul is busy with NAMM, I will post this question here.  
Assembling the 101 Noise S&H, on page 10 a coax cable is soldered 
into the CLOCK pads at J5.   The instructions do not say to lay the 
cable flat and secure with a tie wrap, however there are tie wrap 
holes on the PCB and spare tie wraps came with the kit.    Do I lay 
this coax wire flat on the PCB and tie wrap it down to the board, or 
does the wire come straight up from the connection?

Thanks
Andy Miller

OK, so this is from a mediocre builder, but I have built nearly 30 
modules (including Blacet stuff).  Use a tie for all coax, but you 
don't have to lay the cable flat: let it do what it wants.  The tie 
acts as a very effective strain relief.  Just make sure the cable 
isn't scraping too much against sharp edges.
