Good idea to do the wiring on the front plate of an audio amplifier, radio, or other electronic unit



Published
Please read the textbox/description. When you want do the wiring of a front panel of whatever old school (or not old school) say “hard wired” circuit, it is always a good idea to wire all the components (switches, LEDS, potentiometers, etc. etc.) separately and before you mount these components into the front panel.

Give them some wires, of course long enough to reach the electronic circuit in the box. Could also be shielded types of wiring, say to an analog audio pre-amplifier or end-amplifier end stage, etc.

When all the components are already pre-mounted to the front panel and every other electronic circuit is already on its place and the front panel is in a vertical position it could be a pain to solder/wire all the components that are mounted on the front plate.

Could be that you need 4 hands or a soldering iron in weird corners, avoiding isolated wires to burn off, etc.

So pre-wiring of front plate components is a good idea, and after that: put the front panel to its vertical position and wire the whole electronic circuit in a definite way.

I used this setup many times with audio amplifiers, radio’s, oscillators, measuring devices etc.

Final video about how this 116 KC to 2 MC sine wave oscillator was made is here

Here I also have used that “pre-wiring” way of making the circuit.

My You Tube channel trailer is here: https://youtu.be/xbgQ8T3oqh4 When you search, search always “NEWEST FIRST” to get the right overview. You can also search via the “looking glass” on my Channel trailer via keywords like ”audio”, “radio”, “amplifier”, “filter”, “Shortwave”, “transistor”, “FET”, “oscillator”, “generator”, “switch”, “schmitt trigger” etc; so the electronic subject you are interested in. My books about electronics & analog radio technology are available via the website of "LULU”, search for author “Ko Tilman” there.

I keep all my YT videos constant actual, so the original video’s with the most recent information are always on YouTube. Search there, and avoid my circuits that are republished, re-arranged, re-edited on other websites, giving not probable re-wiring, etc. Some persons try to find gold via my circuits. I take distance from all these fake claims. I cannot help that these things happen. Upload 2 May 2022.
