10.
Now using tweezers or snipe
nose pliers - take the voltage
regulator and position it flat on
the surface of the PCB as
shown.
Then re-heat the pad that we
already applied solder to, and
when the solder is heated - slide
the regulator into position so that
the three pins line up with the
other pads (see next image). If
you don’t manage this first time
round you can re-flow the solder
and reposition the regulator
again.
NOTE! Make sure the
component is flush and
perpendicular to the PCB
surface as you slide it in place.
NOTE: Do not heat this part excessively
or you will damage it, you should be
aiming to solder quickly and neatly.
