STORY 6: Mr. Fusamura is a nice man
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6
Hikaru : Really? They can't be soldered, can they? Pinch the wires of transistor with a heat sink.

Mr. Fusamura : They can, but there are some difficulties. When soldering a transistor, we must use a heat sink (Photo 5) or a radiator to prevent heat conduction from the soldering iron into the transistor. When a heat sink is not available, it should be pinched with tweezers.
But, since the currently available transistors have improved performance to withstand up to about 150ºC, we rarely use a heat sink now.
Hikaru : It was bothersome to solder transistors in those days.
Mr. Fusamura : Will you use a heat sink if you are worried about it?
Hikaru : No, I will not use it. But, just let me see a heat sink.
Mr. Fusamura : Here you are. This is a heat sink. You had better use it if you are worried about it.
Hikaru : I think I will.
Mr. Fusamura : Hikaru, did you finish soldering?

Hikaru : Wait for a minute. I cut this lead with the nippers, ?and I finished. But, Mr. Fusamura, this kit does not include a speaker. Example of electrolytic capacitor mounted with reverse polarities

Mr. Fusamura : Well, then, you can use this.
Hikaru : Thank you. I solder these parts. That's all. Mr. Fusamura, please check the soldering condition.

Mr. Fusamura : Let me see. Hikaru, your soldering skill advanced quickly. Your job is better than before, but there is a slight variation in solder quantity. What? Is this electrolytic capacitor mounted with reverse polarities? (Photo 6) Wait a moment. R2 and R3, and R6 and R7 are mounted in the opposite positions.
