Consult PCB Assembly



This is the voltage regulator. It basically takes the 12v from the consult port of the car and regulates it down to 5v that the actual components want to see. Note that the "flat" side of this component should face away from the board. When in doubt of which way to insert this component, look at the pics of my assembled board in the pics section of Zcontrol.net. You will also need to bend this component over slightly once soldered in so it is even with the RJ45 connector.
