 What I Need to Know

In working with electronics, as with any other specific area of interest , you
will need to acquire special set of tools, equipment, and test equipment in
order to perform your work
This module is about some of the common tools you should know before
working with modern electronics.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
Discuss the uses of different tools and equipment in electronics

What I Know
 What’s In

You already know that tool is a device that can be used to produce an item
or accomplish a task, but it is not consumed in the process. While
equipment includes any machine powered by electricity.

What is It

Soldering tools

When it time to create a permanent circuit, you’ll want to solder the parts
together.  

1. Soldering Iron- is a device for applying heat to melt

solder in attaching two metal parts

2. S o l d e r i n g T o o
during usage.

3. Desoldering- this is used for removing soldered wires.

Driving Tools

Precision Screwdriver Set- It is also known as jeweler’s

screwdrivers and usually come as a set.  The advantage of these
over normal screwdrivers is the precision tips of each driver.
These are very handy when working with electronics that contain
tiny screws.

SCREWDRIVERS- Electricians always keep screwdrivers with

them, for removing and installing cover plates, outlets, switches,
and many other devices. Screwdrivers with insulating rubber
jackets covering the handles are designed for better safety when doing
electrical work.

Splicing Tools

Wire Cutter- Wire cutters are essential for stripping stranded and
solid copper wire.

LINESMAN PLIERS- A pair of linesman pliers is an

electrician's do-it-all tool. It has a squared-off end that is
great for twisting wires together, a center cutting blade for trimming wire,
and a grip area between the handles for pulling wire.

TONGUE-AND-GROOVE PLIERS- Tongue-and-groove pliers are

known by many names, including channel-lock, groove joint, tongue-
and-groove, and straight-jaw pliers. This tool ias most often used for
plumbing work, but a pair of tongue-and-groove pliers also has
many uses for electrical projects.

NEEDLE-NOSE PLIERS- Also called long-nose pliers. It will be

used for bending and twisting wires whenever you are making screw-
terminal connections.

DIAGONAL CUTTING PLIERS- Diagonal cutting pliers,

sometimes called side snips or dikes, are used to cut wires.
They are specially designed with a cutting edge that goes
down to the tip of the jaws, allowing you to get into tight
areas to trim wires.

Striking Tool
HAMMER- A hammer is used to secure electrical boxes equipped with
nail-on brackets to wall studs and other framing members in a home.

Boring Tool

Portable Electric Drill- Use to bore or drill holes.

Measuring Tool

Tape Measure- used to measure the length of an object. It is also

used to measure heights for switches and outlets.

Test Equipment

Digital Multimeter- A multimeter is a device that is used to

measure electric current (amps), voltage (volts) and resistance
(ohms).  It is a great for troubleshooting circuits and is capable of
measuring both AC and DC voltage.  

Ammeter- is an instrument used to measure the flow of

electric current in a circuit.

Voltmeter- is an instrument used to measure voltage.
