Electrical Connections

Proper planning and preparation is the key to a successful work. Before you begin,
make sure that you have the tools you will need, and secure a clear well-lit workplace. Gather
all the components you’ll be using and unpack them at the same time. Always keep in mind
that personal protection is one of the traits of a good computer technician.

Whether you are adding new electrical gear or rewiring something already aboard, the
requirements for reliable and safe electrical connections are the same. You need the right
wire, the right terminal fittings, and a couple of inexpensive hand tools.

Wire Termination/Wire Connection

A wire termination is the work performed to the end of a wire that allows it to connect
to a device (connector, switch, terminal, etc.). Wire connection is a task performed to extend
the cable or wire in a circuit.

Categories of Wire Termination

1. A crimp termination is performed when the device requires a contact or terminal. The
wire insulation is stripped, and the contact or terminal is attached to the wire using a
crimp tool. The tool crimps the contact or terminal onto the wire conductor.
2. A solder termination is performed when the wire conductors attach directly to the
device. This requires stripping off the wire insulation and applying flux and solder to
connect the wire to the device.

Methods of Wire Termination
1. O-Ring Termination – a popular type of connecting a power source to a lighting fixture.
2. Power Cable Termination- a very common type of connector and is often used
within basic appliances and less critical applications.

Methods of Connecting Wire

1. Soldering – Twist the strands as before, use something to hold them in


place and use a soldering iron. The easiest way is to use a flat tip which
you then place under the wires. This will ensure that the wires get hot
enough and make a good connection with the solder. Don’t push the
solder against the iron to melt it but only touch the wires instead. (See
Figure 1) Figure 1

2. Tape it together - Twisting the wire strands together as tightly as you


can. Finish off by applying electrical tape around the twisted part for
insulation. The tape will also provide a bit of strength by holding the two
wires together. (See Figure 2) Figure 2

3. Solder and seal connectors – Take the wires that will be spliced trim
the ends. Push them together so the wire strands intertwine with each
Figure 3
other. (See Figure3)

4. Push in wire connectors - Push in both wires and you’re done. This is
probably the best option if you have to connect multiple wires at once,
as you can buy connectors with more than two slots. (See Figure 4) Figure 4

5. Quick splice connector- Insert the wires on both ends, without cutting the
insulation, and push down the pins. It will cut through the shielding into
the wire and create an electrical connection. (See Figure 5)

Let Us Try

Activity 1: Match Me!


Directions: Identify what method in terminating and connecting wires in column B matches
with the statement in column A. Write only the letter on the space before the number.

COLUMN A
1. Twist the strands as before, use something to hold
COLUMN B
them in place and use a soldering iron.
2. Finish off by applying electrical tape around the a. Crimping
twisted part for insulation.
b. Soldering
3. Insert the wires on both ends, without cutting the
insulation, and push down the pins. c. Quick splice connector
4. Simply push in both wires and you’re done. d. Push-in Wire
5. The wire insulation is stripped, and the contact or Connectors
terminal is attached to the wire using a crimp tool. e. Tape it together

Activity 2: To Terminate or Connect


Directions: Rearrange the following procedures in their proper order. Use letter (a-e) to
indicate their order of precedence. Write your answer before the number.

A. Wire Termination
1. The tool crimps the contact or terminal onto the wire conductor.
2. The wire insulation is stripped, and the contact or terminal is attached to the wire
using a crimp tool.
3. A crimp termination is performed when the device requires a contact or terminal.
4. A solder termination is performed when the wire conductors attach directly to the
device.
5. This requires stripping off the wire insulation and applying flux and solder to connect
the wire to the device.

B. Connecting Wire

1. This will ensure that the wires get hot enough and make a good connection with the
solder.
2. The easiest way is to use a flat tip which you then place under the wires.
3. Don’t push the solder against the iron to melt it but only touch the wires instead.
4. Twist the strands as before, use something to hold them in place and use a
soldering iron.
5. A much better way is to solder the wires together.

Activity 3: Think Out Loud!


Directions: Explain the following questions briefly and concisely. Write your answers on the
space provided below.

1. Juan noticed two wires are detached from the computer motherboard. If you are Juan,
what are you going to do to connect the two wires?

2. How are wires to be terminated?
