ALesson 2: Tools, Materials & Equipment

Used to Assemble Electronic Products

After reading this Information Sheets, You

must be able to:
1. Identify and discuss the required tools,
materials and equipment used to
assemble electronic products
2. Prepare and check the required tools,
materials and equipment used to
assemble electronic products
In every electronic work, it is a must to
prepare the necessary tools, materials and
equipment needed as well as the
information. The following are list of tools,
materials and equipment needed to
assemble electronic products:
SOLDERING TOOLS
1. Soldering Iron – a device used for
joining metals permanently by applying
heat to melt the solder.
2. Desoldering tool – used in removing
soldered wires and components on the PCB
for troubleshooting and repair purposes.

`
3. Soldering stand – a tool where the
soldering iron is placed during usage
.
 4. Soldering lead – the “filler metal” used
in Soldering
DRIVING TOOLS

1.Flathead Screwdriver – used to drive or

fastennegative slotted screw
2. Philip screwdriver – used to drive or
fasten positive slotted screw.
SPLICING TOOLS

1. Side Cutting pliers – used for cutting

wires and excess terminal leads.
 2. Long nose pliers – used for bending,
stretchingand holding terminal leads
of components and wires.
 3. Wire Stripper – it cuts the insulation of
the wire without cutting the wire.
BORING TOOL

12V Mini drill – used to bore/drill hole in

the printed circuit board.
AUXILIARY TOOLS

1. Utility Knife – used for cutting various

trades and crafts for a variety of purposes.
2. Cleaning brush – used for cleaning the
(Paint brush) circuit.
MATERIALS

8. EQUIPMENT
1.Multitester (VOM) – used for measuring
voltage, current and resistance. It is also
used for troubleshooting.
2 Oscilloscope. An oscilloscope (commonly
abbreviated CRO, for cathode-ray
oscilloscope, or scope) is a piece of
electronic test equipment that allows signal
voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-
dimensional graph of one or more
electrical potential differences (vertical axis)
plotted as a function of time or of
some other voltage (horizontal axis).
