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
Planning and preparing for termination/
connection of electrical wiring/
electronics circuits

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Identify the appropriate tools and equipment according to task
requirements
2. Give the importance of planning and preparing for termination/
connection of electrical wiring/ electronics circuits
3. Demonstrate the functions of tools and equipment
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.

Use of Tools

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 nowadays,
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 appliance
