Specification
Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education – CSS 9 Self-Learning Module

on Methods in Termination and Connection According to Job Specification!
This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and
reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.
This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 For the Learner:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education – CSS 9 Self-Learning Module

 LESSON

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.

http://electricalmaniacs.blogspot.com/

b. Spring clamps- this represent a new alternative screw clamps and are
useful in applications using small wire diameters and limited working
space.

http://electricalmaniacs.blogspot.com/

http://electricalmaniacs.blogspot.com/
 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.

https://www.elprocus.com/idc-insulation-displacement-connector/

Two ribbon cables: the grey cable is stripped, and the rainbow cable has an IDC connector
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation-displacement_connector

2. Pin connector- the device that joins two pieces of equipments, wires, or
pipings 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.

111%26%2347%3B16GN.html

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 rack to panel, cable to cable, and
cable to panel.

https://www.connectorsupplier.com/arinc-rack-and-panel-connectors/
 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.

http://www.wiresconnectors.com/eacp_view.asp?id=572

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.

https://www.makerspaces.com/how-to-solder/

2. Touch the tip of one end of the wire, be sure the soldering iron is full heated,
and hold on the wire for 3-4 seconds.

https://www.makerspaces.com/how-to-solder/

3. Keep the soldering iron in place, touch the solder to the wire until it’s fully
coated and repeat the process on the other wire.

https://www.makerspaces.com/how-to-solder/
4. Hold the two tinned wires on top of each other and touch the soldering iron to
both wires. The solder must be melt and coat both wires evenly.

https://www.makerspaces.com/how-to-solder/

5. Then remove the iron and wait for a few seconds let the soldered connection
cool and harden. To cover the connection use heat shrink.

https://www.makerspaces.com/how-to-solder/

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.

https://blog.epectec.com/using-wire-to-board-pcb-mounted-connectors-in-your-cable-assembly

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.
