    Welcome to the Module Terminating and Connecting Electrical Wiring and

    Electronic Circuits. This module contains training materials and activities for you to

    complete.

    The unit of competency Terminate and Connect Electrical Wiring and Electronic

    Circuits contains knowledge, skills and attitudes required for a Computer Hardware

    Servicing NC IIcourse.

    You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to complete

    each of the learning outcomes of the module. In each learning outcome there are Job

    Sheets, andActivity Sheets. Follow these activities on your own and answer the Self-Check

    at the end of each learning activity.

    If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask your teacher for assistance.

    Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

    You may already have some of the knowledge and skills covered in this module

    because you have:o been working for some timeo completed training in this area.If you can demonstrate to your teacher that you are competent in a particular skill or

    skills, talk to him/her about having them formally recognized so you do not have to do the

    same training again. If you have a qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous

    trainings show it to your teacher. If the skills you acquired are still current and relevant to

    this module, they may become part of the evidence you can present for RPL. If you are not

    sure about the currency of your skills, discuss it with your teacher.

    After completing this module ask your teacher to assess your competency. Result of

    your assessment will be recorded in your competency profile. All the learning activities are

    designed for you to complete at your own pace.

    Inside this module you will find the activities for you to complete followed by

    relevant information sheets for each learning outcome. Each learning outcome may have

    more than one learning activity.

    move. The term potential difference and voltage are often used

    interchangeably to mean the push, thus, you may see the term

    secondaryofatransformer.

    Fuse is a safety device used to protect anelectricalcircuit from theeffectofexcessive

    current. Itsessential component is usually a

    strip of metal that will melt at a given

    temperature.Afuseissodesignedthatthestripofmetalcaneasilybe

    placed in the electric circuit. If the current in the circuit exceed a

    predeterminedvalue,thefusiblemetalwillmeltandthusbreak,oropen

    thecircuit.

    A fuse is usually rated in Amperes, which represent the maximumcontinuouscurrentitcouldhandlewithoutblowing.

    The most popular type of fuse in Electronics is 3AG type. This codedescribes the case size and material where G indicates a glass

    serieswiththe linecarryingcurrentfrom

    thepowersourcetotheload.

    A switch is a mechanical device used toconnect 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

    voltagedistributionlines.

    (amplification)toacircuitorsystem. Ithasnocontrolactionanddoesnot

    requireanyinputotherthanasignaltoperformitsfunction.Inotherwords,

    "A component with no brains!" Examples are Resistors, Capacitors and

    Inductors.

    It is used mainly to control current and voltage

    B. ActiveDevicesarecomponents thatarecapableofcontrollingvoltagesorcurrents and can create a switching action in the circuit. In other words,

    "Devices with smarts!" Examples are Diodes, Transistors and Integrated

    circuits.

    Diodes are basically a oneway valve for electrical

    current. They let it flow in one direction (from

    positivetonegative)andnotintheotherdirection.

    Mostdiodesaresimilar inappearancetoaresistor

    andwillhaveapaintedlineononeendshowingthe

    direction or flow (white side is negative). If the

    negativeside ison thenegativeendof thecircuit,

    currentwill flow. If thenegative ison thepositive

    side

    of

    the

    circuit

    no

    current

    will

    flow.

    LEDsaresimplydiodes thatemit lightofone form

    or another. They are used as indicator devices.

    Example:LED litequalsmachineon.Theycome in

    several sizes and colors. Some even emit Infrared

    Lightwhichcannotbeseenbythehumaneye.

    The transistor is possibly the most important

    invention of this decade. It performs two basic

    functions.1) Itactsasa switch turning currenton

    and off. 2) It acts as an amplifier. This makes an

    output signal that is a magnified version of the

    inputsignal.

    Integrated Circuits, or ICs, are complex circuits

    inside

    one

    simple

    package.

    Silicon

    and

    metals

    are

    used to simulate resistors, capacitors, transistors,

    etc.Itisaspacesavingmiracle.

    pointer could not rest exactly at O

    ohm reading.

    As indicated, the pointer rests out of

    the range of ohmmeter scale. Adjust

    the ohm adjustment counter

    clockwise until the pointer rests O

    ohm reading.
