LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Learning Outcome 1: Enumerate, Explain and Apply OHS Policies and Procedures in
Assembling and Disassembling Consumer
Electronic Products and Systems.
Electric shock is the reflection of a living being, the passage of electrical current. Just be
a shock if the central nervous system to react and detect the passage of current. This passage of
current may not have any consequences later, but can also cause burns or cardiac fibrillation in severe
cases death.
Electric shock is an electrical shock is received when electrical current passes through the
body. You will get an electrical shock if a part of your body completes an electrical circuit by:
The tension uses the path of least resistance for potential higher contrast. If this voltage into
a living body to circulate the point where the body will have a higher potential difference physically
closer and with less electrical resistance, i.e., whether a human body has a hand in making a left and
right hand in the sector other pole current will circulate between two hands (these type of shocks are
very common in technical interventions, the technician has a hand in picking neutral element with
another shock). If on the other hand only one hand to be subject to tension, electricity tends to travel
throughout the body to leave the area of contact with earth (ground).
These values may vary according to electrical isolation of each physical body. If there is a
use of footwear with element on high electrical resistance (rubber, wood) the body itself undergoes
changes in its electrical resistance as a function of variables such as food, you’re doing or not digestion
the level of sweating is higher or lower. These factors mean that the consequences of a shock are
different from case to case. There is however standard values that can be used as the basis of the
consequences of a shock.
Values below 50V (AC) AND 120V (DC) are considered safe but may be detected by living
bodies. These voltage values are referred to as EST (Extra Low Voltage). Tensions with values 50-
1000v (AC) or 120-1500V (DC) are in range designated for low voltage (LV) can High Voltage (HV)
the consequences of a shock can even higher.
50 HZ AC AC 60 HZ RESULT
0.5 to 1 mA 0.5 to 3 mA Begins to feel the energy circulating
1-8 mA 3-10 mA Sit back pain, muscle contraction
10-25 mA 10-40 mA Twitch, the pain tends to want to physically release the

asphyxiation
40-50 mA 100-200 mA Cardiac Fibrillation
100 mA 200-500 mA Heart Failures
1000 mA 1500 mA Arcs in the tissues causing internal and external burns
2A 2A Neurological damage
This chart should be used as indicative values with average values listed above can cause enormous damage
in people with health problems.
Depending on the muscle mass and whether a man or woman the beginning of muscle contraction is
different. The female body is more sensitive to electric shock.
Unlike what is widely diffused, is not the voltage that is dangerous but the power that circulates in the body,
all the TV Technicians have already receive a discharge of MAT (more than 20KV), some have some scars
on the hands, but the total power is reduced, the lower risk. An appliance is the most dangerous of the
magnetron microwave, but there is a high power beyond a high voltage while the voltage is below the
transformer lines of a TV.
Yes, the use of rubber footwear to prevent a shock through the body and go to the land,
intensity of the shock is so minor. However, if another part of the body is in contact with a negative potential
(hand on the wall, the other hand the negative or ground unit) and the intensity of the shock effects are
identical. This protection of isolating boots does not isolate high voltage (outputs high-voltage TVS,
magnetron microwave) so it does not serve as effective protection for all voltages and situations.
ELECTRICAL CHARGES
Some devices store energy (capacitor, batteries,) some capacitors for its ability shocks can
produce quite painful. Also on TVs is common to hear, the TV is off but the fly back is acrregado, this is an
error, the high voltage actually stored between the plates that make the picture tube armature condenser
(capacitor) storing very high voltage.
Until a few years ago, it was common chassis of the devices are “live”, this means that the
chassis was connected to the pole of the current input sector, the isolation was done in the case of
televisions, through two condensers placed in decision antenna, the antenna was in shock given mainly by
the poor insulation in one of these capacitors. In the current sources (switching, switched) may be
failures in this sector, leaving the sources voltage to pass the unit chassis.
Electric shocks act on the nervous system and muscle, may therefore lead to irreversible
damage, however there is some scientific debate and conflicting views, some sectors maintain that a body
to receive frequent shocks causes the brain to become accustomed to react not producing the damaged
caused by less frequent shocks, there are some theories that claim that the common shocks are be beneficial
to the cardiac system.
Note: always remember that there is no such a minor electric shock; they are all serious events
and each has the potential to extinguish life in seconds.
In case of a fire involving electrical equipment, the first action must be the isolation of the power
supply so that the circuit is no longer live.
Where it is not possible to switch off the current, the first must be attacked in a way which will not
cause additional danger.
The use of non-conducting extinguishing medium, such as carbon dioxide or powder is necessary.
After extinguishing such a fire careful watch should be kept for renewed outbreaks until the fault
has been rectified.
Re-ignition is a particular problem when carbon dioxide extinguishers are used, although less
equipment may be damaged than is the case when powder is used.
“CONTROL MEASURES”
Here are some common protective systems:
Fuses
Earthing
Isolation
Reduced low voltage systems
Residual current devices
Double insulation
One therefore must be fire-conscious, know the causes and elements of fire, and the different fire extinguishers
used, as well as the position of the nearest fire point.
- heat which is high enough to raise temperature of fuel to its ignition point.
2. When all three are brought together, fire results. Remove any one of them, and the fire danger disappears.
3. It is important to classify fires to recognize the hazards present and to select the proper extinguisher to be
used.
CLASSES OF FIRE
CLASS A
CLASS B
CLASS C
NOTE: ‘C’ and ‘D’ type fires should not be tackled by untrained personnel. Several types of extinguishers
described in the following pages can cause dangerous conditions when used on class ‘C and ‘D’ fires.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Water-filled extinguishers
8. The water-filled extinguisher is the most suitable type for use against Class A fires.
Perhaps the greatest hazard is electric shock. A current through the human body in excess of
10 milliamperes can paralyze the victim and make it impossible to let go of “live” conductor.
Human skin usually has a resistance of several hundred thousand ohms. In low voltage
systems, a high resistance restricts current flow to very low values. Thus, there is little danger of
an electric shock.
High voltage, on the other hand, can force enough current through the skin to produce a shock.
The danger of harmful shock increases. Those who work on very high-voltage circuit must use
special equipment and procedures for protection.
When human skin is moist or cut, its resistance can drop several hundred ohms. Much less
voltage is then required to produce a shock. Potentials as low as 40 volts can produce a fatal shock
if the skin is broken! Although most technicians and electrical workers refer to 40 volts as a low
voltage, it does not necessarily mean safe voltage. You should therefore, be very cautious even
when working with so called low voltages.
Safety is an attitude.
Safety is knowledge.
Safe workers are not fooled by terms such as low voltage they do not assume a circuit is off
even the switch is in off position. They know that the switch could be defective. As your
knowledge of electricity and electronics grows, you will learn specific safety rules and practices.
2. Follow procedures
9. Remember your safety and that of the people you work with is your responsibility. Since the
safest place to work in is a clean and orderly shop, help maintain its cleanliness and
orderliness.
5S stands for 5 Japanese words: Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke.
1. IMMEDIATELY THROW AWAY all the things belonging to you which are not
of any use anymore.
2. DISPOSE unnecessary things belonging to other or to the company in their
proper place.
2. SEITON
Seiton means SYSTEMATIZE. It is generally the organization or the
arrangement of necessary items of good order for use.
3. SEISO
Seiso means SWEEP or clean the work place. It includes the regular cleaning
and protection of used machines and tools.
Seiso also means cleaning even if the things are NOT DIRTY, because a regular cleaning schedule
will prevent things from having the chance to get dirty.
It is recommended to allot 5-10 minute everyday to clean the work place cleaner than when it is
found.
4. SEIKETSU
Seiketsu means SANITIZE, to maintain a high standard of good housekeeping
and workplace organization.
STES:
1. Prepare a House Keeping Standard and Checklist. Should be very
detailed and stringent. Remember that thoroughness is a requirement of excellence.
5. SHITSUKE
Shitsuke means SELF_DISCIPLINE, doing things spontaneously without being
told or ordered.
Doing the job alone will not be futile, unless you are not doing it effectively.
And as soon as people notice the difference you are making, they will tend to do it themselves.
And the more people practice good housekeeping, the stronger the motivation for everyone to
do likewise.
Safety knows how to use and take care of tools, as well as the safety procedures to follow when
using them. An awareness of the hazards is also necessary for safety. Safe handling of tools, materials,
and equipment can be learned, but awareness of safety hazards and procedures depend so much on
attitude.
2. Loose sleeve cuffs are dangerous especially when you work in shop
where machines are in constant motion. Roll them up above your
elbow while in the shop.
2. Severe electrical shock or other types of accidents may interrupt breathing. A procedure such as artificial
respiration (mouth to mouth resuscitation) or CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) can be used to
stimulate the breathing process. Check for a swallowed tongue before applying artificial respiration. This
procedure should be administered by trained person if possible, and continued until medical help arrives.
3. Report all injuries to the instructor immediately. Even minor cuts can become infected, and the best first
aid supplies, nurses, doctors cannot help an unreported injury.
Whenever your body touched a live wire or conductors, you receive and electric shock. The
amount of current which is enough to cause an electric shock or even kill a person is as little as 1/10
ampere. An electric shock causes stopping of the heart, respiration or breathing. There are two
methods of reviving electric shock victim which can be learned in this learning element.
NOTE:
Call for the nearest doctor as soon as the
accident occurs.
NOTE:
If possible blow through both mouth and nose
at the same time.
NOTE:

cleaning schedule will prevent things from having the chance to get dirty.
SEITON
Steps in practicing Seiton
1. ASSIGN A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING. In assigning a place for equipment, tools and
materials, the most often used item should be nearest ergonomically situazted –
meaning there should be as little effort required in accessing, using and returning
the equipment, tools and parts.
2. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS RETURNED IN ITS PLACE. To sustain a well-
organized and well arranged work place, things MUST be put back in their
designated places. This should ensure that when one needs to use the things
again, he/she should be able to find it where it is supposed to be.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Learning Outcome 2: Identify and explain the uses /functions of different types of tools,
Equipment and testing materials.
PLIERS ASSORTED
The primary purpose of the tool known as Pliers is to grip objects firmly. The objects can then be
turned, bent, or otherwise manipulated. The types of pliers includes Engineer’s pliers for gripping metal,
flat nosed pliers for grasping smaller objects, electricians pliers for gripping electrical wires, and round
nosed pliers for bending wires into loops.
“`DRIVING TOOLS”
STANDARD/SLOTTED SCREWDRIVER
Slotted Screwdriver is used to drive or fasten negative slotted screws.
Slotted screwdriver (also known as flat head screwdriver, standard screwdriver, flared
screwdriver, and straight screwdriver) are the oldest of the drive types and was in use by the early 1800s
and is one of the most common drives you are likely to see. The flat blade of the head should match a grove
in the slotted screw.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER
Phillips Screwdriver is used to drive or fasten positive slotted screws. It is a screwdriver that
could take greater torque and could provide tighter fastenings.

ALLEN WRENCH
Allen Wrench is used to drive or fasten hexagonal screws. The head has a hexagonal hole turned
by an Allen key. An Allen key is a hexagonal shaped wrench bent in letter-L. The Allen key may have been
invented by American, Gilbert F. Heublein.
“CUTTING TOOLS”
UTILITY KNIFE
Utility Knife – is a common tool used in cutting various trades and crafts for a variety of purposes.
STRIPPER
Stripper is a pair 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. This type of wire stripper is used by
rotating it around the insulation while applying pressure in order to make a cut around the insulation. Since
the insulation is not bonded to the wire, it then pulls easily off the end.
TUBE CUTTER
Tube cutter – It is use to cut a tube element, especially in designing antennas (like for example,
Antenna Yagi, Hi-top antenna etc.)
HACKSAW
Hacksaw is a saw for cutting metal. Some of them have pistol grips which keep the hacksaw firm and
easy to grip. The small hand-held hacksaw consists of a metal arch with a handle that fits around a narrow,
rigid blade. The blade has many small saw teeth along one side. It can either be attached such that the teeth
face away from the handle, resulting in sawing action by pushing, or be attached such that the teeth face
toward the handle, resulting in sawing action by pulling. On the push stroke, the arch will bend a little,
releasing the tension on the blade. The blade is normally quite brittle, so care needs to be taken to prevent
brittle fracture of the blade.
SOLDERING IRON
Soldering Iron is a device for applying heat to melt solder in attaching two metals parts. A
soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an insulated handle. Heating is often achieved
electrically, by passing a current, supplied through an electrical cord, through a heating element. For
electrical work, wires are usually soldered to printed circuit boards, other wires, or small terminals. A low-
power iron (15-40 Watts) is suitable for this work.
Use soldering iron rated 20-40 watts. Soldering tip can be replaced with same wattage rating of
the soldering iron.
Desoldering Pump/Sucker is the removal of solder and components from a circuit for
troubleshooting, repair purposes and to salvage components. Electronic components are often mounted on
a circuit board and it is usually desirable to avoid damaging the circuit board, surrounding components,
and the component being removed.
SOLDERING TOOL STAND
Soldering Tool Stand is a place of the soldering iron to keep them away from flammable materials.
The stand often also comes with a sponge and flux pot for cleaning the tip.
SOLDERING GUN
Soldering Gun is a pistol-shaped soldering tool having a trigger switch to turn it on. Operates from
117 volts ac and has an integral step-down transformer with a single-turn secondary which quickly heats
the copper soldering loop. Pistol-grip guns have trigger action control of low or high tip temperatures for
general use, with output ranges commonly rated at 100/140, 145/210, or 240/325 watts; temperature
controlled guns designed for solid-state electronics work with enter changeable power heads for varying
fixed-tip temperatures.
“BORING TOOLS”
MINI DRILL
Mini-Drill is used to bore or drill hole in the printed circuit board (PCB).
Portable Electric Drill is used for boring hole/s in the plastic chassis with the used of drill bits.
A file is a metalworking and woodworking tool used to cut fine amounts of material from a work
piece. It most commonly refers to the hand tool style, which takes the form of a steel bar with a case
hardened surface and a series of sharp, parallel teeth. Most files have a narrow, pointed tang at one end to
which a handle can be fitted. A similar tool is the rasp. This is an older form, with simpler teeth. As they
have larger clearance between teeth, these are usually used on softer, non-metallic materials.
“AUXILIARY TOOLS”
MAGNIFYING GLASS
A convex lens which is used to produce a magnified image of an object. The lens is usually
mounted in a frame with a handle (see image). Roger Bacon is the original inventor of the
magnifying glass. A magnifying glass works by creating a magnified virtual image of an
object behind the lens. The distance between the lens and the object must be shorter than
the focal length of the lens for this to occur. Otherwise, the image appears smaller and
inverted, and can be used to project images onto surfaces. The framed lens may be
mounted on a stand, keeping the lens at the right distance from the table, and therefore at
the right distance from the object on the table. The latter applies if the object is small and
also if the height is adjustable. Some magnifying glasses are foldable with built-in light.
SCREW TESTER
Screw Tester is a tool used to indicate live wires.
TWEEZERS
Tweezers is a device use to pick tiny components or parts when performing troubleshoot /
repair (especially in cell phone) and in assemble and disassemble consumer electronics product.
Ball-peen Hammer
Ball-peen Hammer is a type of hammer used in metalworking. The ball-peen hammer remains useful for
many tasks such as tapping punches and chisels. The original function of the hammer was to "peen" riveted
or welded material so that it will exhibit the same elastic behavior as the surrounding material. Specifically,
striking the metal imparts a stress at the point of impact which results in strain-hardening of that area.
Strain hardening raises the elastic limit of a material into the plastic range without affecting its ultimate
strength. A strain-hardened material will not deform under the same low stresses as a non-hardened
material.
A bench vise is a type of vise grip which is designed to attach to a workbench. Vise grips are tools
which are designed to be cranked shut to hold on to something. Essentially, a vise grip is like an extra pair
of hands, but unlike hands, a vise grip can exert considerable pressure, and it will never tire out or get
bored. Most vise grips consist of a pair of large jaws which can be moved closer together or further apart
with the use of a crank, with safety measures or locks which hold the vise grip shut unless the user takes a
specific action to open it.
Vise grips generally clamp onto a workbench with an adjustable clamp which can be used to move
the grip around or change the angle. Some are padded to reduce the risk of scarring the workbench, while
the jaws themselves are usually made from textured metal which provides traction and firms hold.
“Turning Tools”
Adjustable Wrench
c. Vice Grip Wrench – used for holding work with a locking device to avoid slipping and
causing damage to nuts.
d. Pipe Wrench – used for holding and turning pipe. Also used for turning nuts, when
fastening pieces of work.
Pipe Wrench
Set of Open-End-Wrench
f. Box Wrench – used for holding, tightening, loosening nuts or bolts. It completely
surrounds the bolt or nut to prevent possible slippage.
Box Wrench
g. Socket Wrench – probably the most useful tool among the wrenches. Used for
turning, tightening, loosening nuts and bolts.
Socket Wrench
h. Allen Wrench – used for fastening/removing Allen set screws.
Allen Wrench
VOLT-OHM-MILLIAMMETER (ANALOG)
A Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter, often called a Multitester.
Multitester is an instrument use to measure AC VOLTAGE, DC VOLTAGE, RESISTANCE and
small amount of CURRENT. A multitester is used as a voltage tester and a continuity tester for many
diagnostic jobs.
CLAMP-ON AMMETER
Clamp-on ammeter is an AC ammeter with a built-in current transformer whose core can be
clamped around the conductor in which current measured.
OSCILLOSCOPE
Oscilloscope is an instrument in which the horizontal and vertical deflection of the electron
beam of a cathode-ray tube are, respectively, proportional to a pair of applied voltages. In the most usual
application of the instrument the vertical deflection is a signal voltage and the horizontal deflection is a
linear time base. An electronic “window” that displays variations of voltage at any point in a circuit by
displaying in graphic form on its screen the actual waveform of voltage plotted against time. In addition, an
oscilloscope serves as an accurate ac/dc voltmeter and time-period counter.
Cleaning
Storage
Maintenance
Maintenance
It is important to note that a user hurts or cuts himself only when the tool is dull. A hand
tool in a good working condition will do its work efficiently without any effort on the part
of the worker. It is seen that when blades are dull. The worker has to exert great pressure
to cut, which it turns may off balance the worker leading to his slip or fall. That is why the
blades of the cutting tools should always be kept sharp.
Metal blades should be well-oiled.
Any kind of screws, blades, nuts, bolts, rivets, and springs must always be checked
regularly for wear or damage, and should be replaced if necessary.
Wooden parts hand tools are beyond your capacity to clean and maintain, then take advice
from the concerned maintenance person.
Use
Last but not the least; tools should be used to do only that specific job for which they are
designed. For example, you cannot use a chisel as a screw driver or a screw driver as a
chisel. Such misuse is dangerous how the tools and to the person using them. You should
learn how the tool be used and for what purpose.
Each tool should have its own storage place. Tools must be returned to their proper places,
and not be to lie around where they could fall on, or trip you or someone else.
Carrying tools in your pockets is dangerous, especially if the tools are sharp or pointed.
Use a kit or tool or belt.
1. Take good care of tools. Use tools carefully and you will have less needs for first aid kit.
2. Keep tools clean. Protect them against damage from corrosion. Dip tools occasionally in cleaning
fluids or solvents and wipe them clean. Lubricate adjustable and moving parts to prevent wear and
misalignment.
3. Keep cutting edges sharp. Tools are much safer than dull ones.
4. When sharpening tools, redressing or repairing tools, sharpen, grind, hone, file, fit, and set them
properly, using other tools suited to each purpose.
5. For sharpening tools, either an oil stone or a grind stone is preferable.
6. Tools which are struck by hammers, such as chisels or punches, should have the head ground
periodically to prevent mushrooming.
7. When tools are not in use keep them in suitable boxes, racks, or trays. Put them down carefully an
in orderly manner on workbenches, with cutting edges turned away from you.
8. Place tools so they cannot fall and where no one can strike against or trip over them. Tools should
be placed on elevated benches, tables, or platforms so they cannot roll or be kicked or knocked off.
9. When carrying tools protect the cutting edges and carry the tools in such a way that you will not
endanger yourself or others.
10. Carry pointed or sharp-edges tools in pouches or holster.
11. Refit or replace loose or split handles. Do not rely on friction tape to secure split handles.
12. Keep handles wedged tightly in heads of all tools. Keep them smooth and free of rough or jagged
surfaces.
Keep tools in good condition, broken or worn tools (wrenches with crack or worn jaws, electric tools with
broken plugs, etc.) should be repaired or discarded.
Use tools in the way they were intended to be used (e.g., instruct users to cut away from the body when
using knives, ground ~ electric tools, etc.).
Keep tools in safe place. Many accidents have been caused by tools falling from overhead, and by sharp
tools carried in pockets or left in toolboxes with the cutting edges exposed.
Nearly all power tool accidents are due to improper handling and poor maintenance. Clean tools
regularly.
Guards are for your protection. Power tool hazards are vastly increased when workmen reject
using the guards or wedge the guard open on electric saws and other equipment.
Disconnect the power source before adjusting, oiling or changing accessories never fail to replace
the guards afterward.
When stringing temporary extension cords and hoses make certain that are protected and do not
present a tripping hazard. Make a daily check of the insulation on the wires of the power tools that you are
using and couplings on pneumatic hoses. Repair or report them if they are frayed or broken.
Every electric power tool must be grounded. This averts the possibility of the body of the operator
becoming a part of the energized circuit. Grounding is done automatically on unaltered three-pronged plugs
when the plug is inserted.
Right tool for the right job: for example, do not use a knife as a saw or a wrench as a hammer or
screwdriver as a chisel etc.
Correct size: all tools used for specific purpose should be of the appropriate size. You should have
the correct sized tool. Forcing a small hand tool to do the job of a large one may result in tool
damage or injury.
All hazards involved in the use of power tools can be prevented by following some basic safety
rules:
Keep all tools in good condition with regular maintenance
Use the right tools for the job;
Examine each tool for damage before use;
Utilize the proper protective equipment.
Participating in safety training.
Hand tools are non- powered. They include anything from axes to wrenches. The greatest hazards posed
by hand tools result from misuse and improper maintenance.
Health hazards in the workplace are the major concern for both employers and employees. It
is important, though, to remember that hazardous materials only present a health hazard when
they come into contact with your body. Hazardous materials can enter your body in three ways:
Ingestion
Skin absorption
Inhalation
Because much substance which is health hazards can become airborne, knowing how to protect
you is very important.
“Foot protection”
Safety boots fitted with steel caps must be worn at all times on entering
construction sites.
Safety boots, both rubber and leather, are fitted with steel toe caps.
Chemical resistant footwear also available.
“Safety glasses”
Unbreakable lenses of plastic or tempered glass with side shields.
For light-to moderate work.
Can be prescription lenses contact safety department for appointment.
“Hearing protection”
Hearing protection should be worn in all designated areas (noise in excess of 85 decibels
(dba)).
If two people 1 meter apart must shout to be heard, the background noise is too loud (
about 85 decibels)
“Respiratory protection”
Respiratory are an effective method of protection against designated hazards when
properly selected and worn.
Includes disposable respirators, half mask, full face mask respirator, and breathing
apparatus.
Make sure you use the right type of respirator filter.
If respirator is used improperly or not kept clean, the respirator can become a
hazard to you.
Read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer on use,
maintenance, cleaning and care, and warning regarding the limitations of a
respirator.
Do not wear your respirator into atmospheres containing contaminants for which
your respirator is not designed to prevent against. For example, a respirator is
designed to filter dust particles will not protect against gasses and vapors.
Keep track of your respirator so that you do not mistakenly use someone else’s
respirator.

Components Description
A special type of connector used to connect the power supply to the electronic
Alligator Clip
gadget.
Fuse A protective device used to prevent the circuit from short circuit or damage.
LED
Light Emitting A transducer which converts electrical energy to light.
Diode
Line cord A type of cord used to connect the unit to the voltage source.
On-Off switch Used to on and off the circuit.
Printed PCB – a conductive pattern formed on one or both sides of an insulating base
Circuit Board by etching, plating or stamping.
A resistor restricts the flow of current, for example to limit the current passing
Resistor through an LED. A resistor is used with a capacitor in a timing circuit.
Some publications still use the old resistor symbol:
Rotary Switch A switch that is operated by a rotating shaft.
A component that consist of two or more coils which are coupled together by
Transformer
magnetic induction.
This type of amplifier cannot amplify low output signals from tuner, microphone, etc. it has be driven by a
strong output signal say, from a lower power amplifier. The schematic diagram of a transformer-coupled
booster amplifier is shown below:
So far output transistors have been used. Here is an amplifier that uses NPN output transistors.

IMPORTANCE OF SOLDERING
The most important factor involve in soldering is reliability. This is considered as assurance for the
satisfaction of our customers.
PURPOSE OF SOLDERING
ELECTRICAL JOINING – to join two or more metals together and to achieve electrical connection
between them.
MECHANICAL JOINING – to join two or more metals and to fix a relative position between them.

Choosing gauges:
• Properly choosing the colors for your wires can help you decipher your wiring configurations.
Conductors:
• Conductors are defined as materials that allow the flow of electric current.
• Metals are usually good conductors while nonmetals are not.
• The most common conductor used in electrical wiring is copper.
Insulators:
• An insulator is materials that has few, if any, free electrons and resists the flow of electrons.
• No material has been found to be a perfect insulator, but common insulators include air, glass,
rubber, plastic, paper, and porcelain.
• An advantage of using insulators in circuits is that they provide the ability to place wires close
together without the risk of a short circuit.
Wire Terminals:
• Terminals are used to safely and easily connect wires to a device or load.
• They are usually crimped onto the ends of wires, or soldered directly onto the terminal.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
You might think that disassembly and assembly of the system unit is easy. Yes it is
provided that you have done it correct and safely. The first thing that every technician
should keep in mind is SAFETY. You must think that electrocution and nasty cuts are the
most common injuries a technician might have and we need to avoid it by following simple
safety procedures.
1. Wear anti-ESD Wrist Strap and if there is none, drain off the ESD by touching the unpainted
part of the unit.
2. Wear proper clothing. If ever the unit you’re working on catches fire, cotton most likely better
resist burning than nylon clothes.
3. Turn off the system unit and unplug the power cord.
4. Keep screws together. Short circuit will likely be a big possibility if screws or other similar
small metallic objects are misplaced. It is best to keep a small canister to contain the screws or
just put the screws back where they were taken.
5. Clean your tools and equipment before and after use. Take care of your tools because they
will also take good care of you. Tools and equipment in good condition lessens accident.
- Clean your system unit before fixing it.
6. Fix the unit if it is broken. Yes, don't assume that the unit is broken lest you're sure it really
is. You might add up or make the problem yourself rather than to fix it.
8. Have documentation or note on each unit being fixed. Documentation will be your personal
troubleshooting database. This will be a handy future troubleshooting reference. Your
documentation will also serve as your guide as you go on with your troubleshooting.
9. Do make use of the comfort of time in troubleshooting. Do not be in a hurry when fixing the
unit. If you can't finish the fix on that day, let the day pass and fix it by the morning. Mistakes occur
because of distraction and of the lack of concentration.
