PLAN AND PREPARE FOR TERMINATION/CONNECTION OF ELECTRICAL
WIRING/ELECTRONICS CIRCUITS

To work with electronic and electrical circuits, a beginner needs to

acquire special hand tools and equipment. Each of these hand tool and
equipment does one or more specific job in connecting, replacing, securing
and troubleshooting of electronic circuits.
In doing so it is better for a beginner to learn first how to use these
hand tools and equipment. And where to use them, before they can start to
build or assemble simple circuit up to complicated ones.

A. Basic Electronic Hand Tools and Equipment

Electronic technicians in olden days could get along with a set of
screw drivers, long nose, side cutter and soldering pencil in troubleshooting.
But now
adays, with the arrival of the new circuit technology and microcircuit is being
introduced in the industry, troubleshooting the problem is very complex.

Without the knowledge and aid of the multitester and other sophisticated
equipment such as regulated power supply, signal generator and
oscilloscope, troubleshooting is impossible. Here are the following basic tools
and equipments needed for the repair of electronics devices and appliances:

SPLICING TOOLS
Needle Nose pliers - Mainly used to hold small
wire and parts when your figures just can't do it. Get
a small set of needle-nose pliers with thin jaws for
working with small parts, and a larger set for bigger
jobs.

Long nose pliers - is used for holding, bending,

and stretching the lead of electronic component or
splicing wires.
Diagonal Cutters - used to cut wires and especially
the wires sticking out from the bottom of a circuit
board after soldering a part in place

Duckbill pliers - resemble a “duck’s bill” in that the

jaws are thin, flat, and shaped like a duck’s bill. They
are used exclusively for twisting safety wire.

Wire Strippers - are pairs of opposing blades much

like scissors or wire cutters. The addition of a center

 notch makes it easier to cut the insulation without
cutting the wire.

DRIVING OF TOOLS
Screwdrivers are hand tools specifically designed to insert and tighten,
or to loosen and remove screws. A screwdriver comprises a head or tip,
which engages with a screw, a mechanism to apply force by rotating the
tip, and some way to position and support the screwdriver, the tip of which
is shaped in to fit a particular type of screw.
Slotted Screwdriver is used to drive
or fasten negative slotted screws.

Phillips Screwdriver – used to drive

or fasten positive slotted screws. It is a
screwdriver that could take greater
torque and could provide tighter
fastenings.

 Replaceable tip screwdrivers -
commonly referred to as“10 in 1”
screwdrivers, allow for the quick
changing of a screwdriver tip, and
economical replacement of the tip
when it becomes worn.

SOLDERING TOOLS
A soldering iron or soldering station is composed of a heated metal tip and
an insulated handle. For electrical work, wires are usually soldered to
printed circuit boards, bother wires, or small terminals. A low-power iron
(20-30 Watts) is suitable for this work.

b. Touch the soldering iron onto the joint to be soldered.
c. Apply a small amount of solder onto the joint.
d. Remove the solder, then the soldering iron, while keeping the joint in
still position.
e. Inspect the joint closely. It should look shiny and with a volcano shape.
Soldering gun - is a device for applying heat to
melt solder in attaching two metal parts. A
soldering gun is composed of a heated metal tip
and an insulated handle.

BORING TOOLS
Portable Electric Drill is used for boring hole(s)
in plastic or metal chassis with the used of drill
bits having sizes from 1/6” to approximately 1/4”.
Caution:
High torque requires a lot of force to keep the
tool from twisting. Before using a drill, be sure to

SIMPLE CIRCUIT

A Simple circuit contains the minimum things needed to have a functioning

electric circuit. A simple circuit requires the following:
1. AC/DC source - Equipment that will operate on either an AC or DC
power source
2. Battery – A dc voltage source containing two or more cells that convert
chemical energy to electrical energy.
3. Cell‐ Single unit used to convert chemical energy into a DC electrical
voltage.
4. FUSE -once you design a simple circuit on electronics, it is important
to include a fuse in the primary or secondary of a transformer. Fuse is a
safety device used to protect an electrical circuit from the effect of
excessive current. Its essential component is usually a strip of metal
that will melt at a given temperature. A fuse is so designed that the
strip of metal can easily be placed in the electric circuit. If the current
in the circuit exceed a predetermined value, the fusible metal will melt
and thus break, or open the circuit. A fuse is usually rated in Amperes,
which represent the maximum continuous current it could handle
without blowing. The most popular type of fuse in Electronics is 3AG
type. This code describes the case size and material where “G”
indicates a glass materials and “A” indicates that intended for

 automotive application. A 3AG fuse measures approximately 32mm x
6mm.

5. Wires and Cable - A wire is a single slender rod or filament of drawn

metal. This definition restricts the term to what would ordinarily be
understood as solid wire. The word “slender” is used because the
length of a wire is usually large when compared to its diameter. If a
wire is covered with insulation, It is an insulated wire. Although the
term “wire” properly refers to the metal, it also includes the insulation.
A conductor is a wire suitable for carrying an electric current.
A stranded conductor is a conductor composed of a group of wire or
any combination of group of wires. The wires in a stranded conductor
are usually twisted together and not insulated from each other.
A cable is either a stranded conductor (single‐conductor cable) or a
combination of conductors insulated from one another (multiple‐
conductor cable). The term “cable” is a general one and usually applies
only to the large sizes of conductor. A small cable is more often called
a stranded wire or cord (such as that used for an iron or a lamp cord).
Cables may be bare or insulated. Insulated cables may be sheathed
(covered) with lead, or protective armor.

6. Switch - Switch is a device used to break an electric current or
transfer it to another conductor. Switches are commonly used to open
or close a circuit. Closed is the ON position, while open is OFF position.
Normally, switch is installed in series with the line carrying current
from the power source to the load. A switch is a mechanical device
used to connect and disconnect a circuit at will. Switches cover a wide
range of types, from subminiature up to industrial plant switching
megawatts of power on high voltage distribution lines. Switch is a
manually operated device capable of making, breaking, or changing
the connection in an electronics or electrical circuit. A switch
connected in series with one of the connecting wires of simple circuit
affords a means of controlling the current in the circuit. Switch
function. When the switch is closed, the electron finds an interrupted
path in the circuit. Open is the OFF position of the switch, while closed
is the ON position. When the switch is opened, the current delivered by
the power supply is normally insufficient to jump the switch gap in the
form of an arc and the electron flow in the circuit is blocked.

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.
