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. Figure 2
(See Figure 2)

3. Solder and seal connectors – Take the wires that will be


Figure 3
spliced trim the ends. Push them together so the wire
strands intertwine with each 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 Figure 4
multiple wires at once, as you can buy connectors with more
than two slots. (See 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) Figure 5

matches with the statement in column A. Write only the letter on the space
before the number.

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?
