CT3680 Development Board Assembly

This information is only for Version 1 of the CT3680 and does not apply to Version 2 or later.

The V1 development board uses all through-hole components except for the CT3680 V1 connector which is surface mount. We supply the board with or without the connector pre-soldered.

The following is the complete component list. Some items are optional depending on how the development board is to be used and your particular application. For example, if you expect to use only 1 or 2 inputs or outputs you can leave some of the input/output jacks unpopulated. If you have no stereo application you can leave off the output channel 3+4 stereo jack. If you are not linking multiple modules you can leave the LINK section unpopulated and save a switch and some header pins. You could also choose to leave out the power LED and resistor (and even the power switch and solder a jumper wire in its place). Most all applications will need the CT3680 connector, the 6 potentiometers (with or without knobs), the program and option switches, the power connector, and header pins. If you don't install the audio input/output jacks. those signals are still available on header pins.

The switches have two footprints to support 2 different model/brands of switches, you can use either one, or any other SPDT with a matching footprint.

We do not endorse any particular supplier for these parts, we provide the list below only for your convenience.
