TLEd 201 – INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRIAL ARTS PART 1

MODULE 3 - ELECTRONICS
Lesson 1: Use Hand Tools

Intended Learning Outcomes: At the end of the lesson, students should have:

a. Identified the different hand tools and equipment;


b. Explained the importance of using appropriate hand tools
and test equipment; and
c. Maintained hand tools.

Keys to Remember/Vocabulary List

 Desoldering - a process of unsoldering unwanted parts or components in the circuit with


the support of soldering tool
 Electronics - a branch of science and technology that deals with the controlled flow of
electrons
 Soldering technique - a right process in which the solder (lead) is being applied in a
connection or in the printed circuit board
 Tool kit - a small bag or box equipped with hand tools.
 Tool – a handheld device used to carry out a particular function.

Instruction: Answer the following questions.

1. From the previous experiences you had in your field, how would you describe a tool as an
aid in completing your tasks?
2. If tools wouldn’t have existed today, what do you think will happen in the field of
electronics? Do you think it’ll be easier on us to work on things? Explain your answer.
3. Recall at least 5 tools you once used or saw in the field of electronics. Give its specific
function.

Instruction: Give your answer on the given questions below.

1. Define tools. How would it help you in your chosen field of specialization?
2. If you were to have tools in the future, how would you maintain it? Is it just enough to
clean it? Elaborate your answer.
3. Tools have been really great aid not just today but also for the past centuries. What do you
think are the reasons why people of today continually innovate it?

ELECTRONICS – deals more with the behavior of electron in semi-conductor materials or the
electronic components.

BASIC HAND TOOLS

DRIVING TOOLS

Screwdrivers - designed to insert and tighten, or to loosen and remove screws.

 Flat Screwdriver - used to drive or fasten negative slotted screws.


 Phillips Screwdriver – used to drive or fasten positive slotted screws. It is a screwdriver
that could take greater torque and could provide tighter fastenings.

Flat Screwdriver Phillips Screwdriver

SOLDERING TOOLS

 Soldering Iron – is a device for applying heat to melt solder in attaching


two metal parts. A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip and an
insulated handle. For electrical work, wires are usually soldered to printed
circuit boards, other wires, or small terminals. A low-power iron (20-30 Watts)
is suitable for this work.

 Soldering Tool Stand – is a place where the soldering iron is placed


during usage. This will keep the soldering iron away from flammable materials.
The stand often comes with a sponge used in cleaning the tip of the soldering
iron.

 Desoldering tool – used in removing soldered wires and components on


printed circuit boards for troubleshooting and repair purposes.

SPLICING TOOLS

 Long Nose Pliers - used for holding, bending, and stretching the lead of
electronic component or connecting wires.

 Side Cutter Pliers - a wire-cutting pliers, though they are not used to grab
or turn anything, but are used to cut wires.

 Wire Stripper - 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.

BORING TOOLS

 12V Mini-Drill – is used to bore or drill holes in the printed circuit board
(PCB) with sizes from 1/32” – 1/16”.

 Portable Electric Drill is used for boring hole(s) in plastic or metal


chassis with the used of drill bits having sizes from 1/6” to approximately 1/4”.

 Metal Files - these are hand tools having a series of sharp, parallel ridges
or teeth. Most files have a narrow, pointed tang at one end to which a handle
can be fitted.

 Flat File is parallel in width and tapered in thickness; they are used for flat surfaces and
edges.
 Half Round File is tapered in width and thickness, coming to a point, and is narrower
than a standard half round and used for filing inside of rings.
 Round File - is also called rat-tail file which is gradually tapered and used for many tasks
that require a round tool, such as enlarging round holes or cutting a scalloped edge.

CUTTING TOOLS

 Utility Knife - used in cutting various trades and crafts for a variety of
purposes.

 Hacksaw - used for cutting metals. Some have pistol grips which keep the
hacksaw firm and easy to grip.

AUXILIARY TOOLS

 Magnifying Glass is a convex lens which is used to produce a magnified


image of an object. The lens is usually mounted on a frame with a handle.
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. Some magnifying glasses are foldable with built-in light.

 Paint Brush – made of bristles set in handle, use for cleaning dirty parts
of a circuit or an object.

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

Aside from hand tools, equipment is also needed for more accurate and quality output.

Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter - is an equipment that combines three


functions: as a voltmeter that measures both ac and dc voltages; an
ohmmeter that measures resistance; and milliammeter that measures
small amount of dc current. As safety precautions in the maintenance of
this instrument, the following should be observed:

 Always rest the function switch at 250V AC if an OFF position is not available in the
instrument.
 For current and voltage measurements, always set the function switch in the correct
setting which is a little higher than the expected current or voltage present in the circuit.
 Place the instrument in a cool dry place, away from any magnetic devices, and free from
vibrations.
