The Module, Terminating and Connecting Electrical Wiring and Electronic Circuits,
contains training materials and activities for you to complete.
You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to complete
each learning outcome of the module. In each learning outcome, there are
Information Sheets, Self-Checks and Job Sheets. Follow these activities on your own
and answer the questions that are given. Then, ask for the answer key from your
instructor and check your work honestly. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate
to ask your facilitator for assistance.
This learning material was prepared to help you achieve the required
competency in Terminating and Connecting Electrical Wiring and Electronic Circuits.
This will be the source of information for you to acquire the knowledge and skills in
this particular module independently and at your own pace with less supervision.
In doing the activities to be completed as required in this module, please be guided
by the following:
Talk to your trainer and agree on how you will both organize in taking this module.
Read through the module carefully.
Work through all information and complete the activities in each section. Read the
information sheets and complete the self-checks provided.
Most probably your trainer will also be your supervisor or manager. He/she is there
to support you and show you the correct way to do things. Ask for help.
Your trainer will tell you about the important things you need to consider when you
are completing the activities and it is important that you listen and take notes.
You will be given plenty of opportunities to ask questions and practice on the job.
Make sure to practice your new skills during regular work shifts. This way you will
improve both your speed and memory and also your confidence.
Use the Self-Check, and Task Sheets at the end of each section to test your own
progress. Use the performance Criteria Checklist or Procedural Checklist used after
the sheet to check your own performance. When you feel confident that you have
sufficient knowledge and skills, ask your instructor to evaluate you. The results of
your assessment will be recorded in your Progress Chart and Accomplishment
Chart.
You need to complete this module before you can perform the next common
competency module.

PROPER DISCUSSION
Terminating/ connecting electrical wiring/ electronic circuits

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify the proper soldering process
2. Give the importance of Terminate/ connect electrical wiring/ electronic
circuits
3. Terminate/ connect electrical wiring/ electronic circuits
Introduction
To ensure that tools and equipment remain in good condition and last for a
long time, store them properly. Properly stored tools and equipment will be easy to
find when needed and are less likely to be lost.

Electrical termination of a signal involves providing a terminator at the end of a wire

or cable to prevent an RF signal from being reflected back from the end, causing
interference. The terminator is placed at the end of a transmission line or daisy chain
bus (such as in SCSI), designed to match impedance and hence minimize signal
reflections

Electrical Connections
  Whether adding new electrical gear or rewiring something already aboard, the
requirements for a reliable and safe electrical connection are the same. You need
the right wire, the right terminal fittings, and a couple of inexpensive hand tools.

SOLDERING
The following information will aid you in learning basic soldering skills. It
should enable you to solder wires to electrical connectors, splices, and terminal lugs.
Special skills and schooling are required for the soldering techniques used in printed
circuit boards and micro miniature component repair.

SOLDERING PROCESS
Cleanliness is essential for efficient, effective soldering. Solder will not adhere
to dirty, greasy, or oxidized surfaces. Heated metals tend to oxidize rapidly. This is
the reason the oxides, scale, and dirt must be removed by chemical or mechanical
means. Grease or oil films can be removed with a suitable solvent. Connections to
be soldered should be cleaned just prior to the actual soldering operation.
Items to be soldered should normally be "tinned" before making a mechanical
connection. Tinning is the coating of the material to be soldered with a light coat of
solder. When the surface has been properly cleaned, a thin, even coating of flux
should be placed over the surface to be tinned. This will prevent oxidation while the
part is being heated to soldering temperature. Rosin-core solder is usually preferred
in electrical work. However, a separate rosin flux may be used instead. Separate
rosin flux is frequently used when wires in cable fabrication are tinned.

Statement 2

Items to be soldered should normally be "11.__________" before making a

mechanical connection. Tinning is the coating of the material to be 12.__________
with a light coat of solder. When the surface has been properly 13.__________, a
thin, even coating of flux should be placed over the surface to be tinned. This will
prevent 14._________ while the part is being heated to soldering temperature.
Rosin-core solder is usually preferred in 15.__________ work. However, a separate
rosin flux may be used instead. Separate rosin flux is frequently used when wires in
cable fabrication are tinned.
