“The Three Fives” Discrete 555 Timer Soldering Kit
Description
- Easy-to-build soldering kit
- Includes the circuit board, resistors, and transistors
- Comes complete with a beautiful aluminum display stand
- Features easy “through-hole” construction
The The Three Fives Discrete 555 Timer Soldering Kit is a faithful and functional transistor-scale replica of the classic NE555 timer integrated circuit, one of the most classic, popular, and all-around useful chips of all time. The kit is lovingly designed to resemble an (overgrown) integrated circuit, based around an extra-thick matte-finish printed circuit board. It comes complete with a beautiful aluminum display stand that gives the circuit board eight legs in the shape of DIP-packaged integrated circuit pins.
It includes the circuit board, resistors, and transistors that make up the electrical circuit as well as printed assembly instructions. The kit also comes complete with the “IC Leg” stand, and 8 color coded thumbscrew terminal posts.
To build the Three Fives kit, basic electronic soldering skill and tools are required, but no additional knowledge of electronics is presumed or required. You provide standard soldering tools: a soldering iron + solder and small (“flush”) wire clippers, as well as a Phillips head screwdriver
The kit features easy “through-hole” construction (“No surface-mount nothin’ nowhere!”), and (assuming that you have prior soldering experience) should take roughly an hour to build.
