Lesson 13

The document discusses various methods for terminating and connecting wires according to job specifications. It describes four main methods: 1) Clamping using screw clamps, spring clamps, and insulation displacement connections. 2) Pin connectors like terminal blocks, rack and panel, and ring and spade connectors. 3) Soldering joints using a soldering iron to join wires. 4) Plug and socket connections that have male and female sides for easy connection, including wire-to-wire and wire-to-board types. The objective is to explain these termination and connection methods according to specifications.

Methods in

Termination and
Connection According
to Job Specification
Objectives:
A. Enumerate the methods in
termination and connection
according to job specification
B. Explain the different methods in
termination and connection of wires
C. Familiarize the methods in
termination and connection
according to job specification
Introduction
The wire termination is the work performed
to the end of a wire that allows it to connect
to a device such as connector, switch,
terminals and others. Hence, electrical
connection allows electricity to flow through
the wire which transmit electricity. A cable
with specialized ends runs between two
connectors; these are the ends that
interlock with the ends on a compatible
cables and wires to allow transfer of power.
Methods in Termination and
Connections According to Job
Specification
1. Clamping- it comes from the root
word clamp which means holding
something together tightly. It is also
known as terminations therefore,
terminal blocks may use one of
several different methods to
achieve wire connection.
Types of clamping method:
a. Screw clamps- it uses a
screw to tighten the wire and
make an electrical connection, it
can accommodate a very wide
range of wire sizes and provides
a reliable connection.
b. Spring clamps- this represent a
new alternative screw clamps and
are useful in applications using
small wire diameters and limited
working space.
c. Insulation Displacement
Connections (IDC) – this
push the wire between two
sharp pieces of metal, it
allows connection to be
made without any exposing
of bare wire
2. Pin connector- the device
that joins two pieces of
equipment, wires, or piping
with the use of pins.
Types of Pin Connectors
a. Terminal Block – Multiple
wires are being connected
individually to a single terminal
point and enclosed in its
housing. It consists of many
sizes however, the lack of circuit
protection makes them large
compared with others.
b. Rack and Panel – These are
usually used to connect
stationary equipment with
removable electronic parts, it is
based on the space or reliability
of the connection. These are the
examples of rack to panel, cable
to cable, and cable to panel
c. Ring and Spade – It connects
a single wire, the connection is
secured by sandwiching a
threaded post and a screw or
bolt. The shape allows to easy
connections that is removable
when the lock is partially
opened.
3. Soldering joints- the process
of joining two or more electronic
parts like wires or circuit boards
together by melting solder to the
connection. It uses solder a
metal alloy and when it cools it
creates a strong electrical bond
between the parts.
Steps in Soldering Wires
1. Remove the insulation from
the ends of both wires that you
will soldering together. Twist the
strands together with the fingers
if the wire is stranded
.
2. Make sure your soldering iron
is fully heated and touch the tip
to the end of one of the wires.
Hold it on the wire for 3-4
seconds.
3. Keep the iron in place and
touch the solder to the wire until
it’s fully coated. Repeat this
process on the other wire.
4. Hold the two tinned wires on
top of each other and touch the
soldering iron to both wires. This
process should melt the solder
and coat both wires evenly.
5. Remove the soldering iron
and wait a few seconds to let the
soldered connection cool and
harden. Use heat shrink to cover
the connection.
4. Plug and Socket – It consists
of a female as a socket having
one or more pins into a male
socket or also known as plug. It
provides easy connections
to be made without tools. This
types include USB, network
cable, HDMI, board mount, audio
coaxial, cable and others.
Types of Plug and Socket
Method:
a. Wire-to-wire connector- the
wires are attached to the male
and female sides of the
connector it can be a soldered or
mechanical connection to a
jacketed wire.
b. Wire-To-Board Connector
System- it has a male and female
set of connectors, with one being
terminated to a cable harness and
the opposite side is attached to a
printed circuit board. It uses pins
that are soldered to through holes
or surface mounted to the pads of
printed circuit board.
