Hi all,

Anyone ever come across this before? It appears in the following context:

"Indien nodig, moeten half bestukte SMD assy’s onder stikstof opgeslagen worden i.v.m. mogelijke oxidatie van de soldeervlakken."

De print bestukken en inbouwen
Bij het bestukken van de print gaan we zoals steeds eerst de laagste componenten (weerstanden condensatoren) plaatsen en vervolgen met de steeds hoger wordende componenten plaatsen. Merk hier op dat de tansistoren langs de onderkant van de print gemonteerd worden (in de voorziene gaten) met de opdruk naar boven (zodat je door het gat de opdruk kunt lezen)
