ELECTRONIC HAND TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT Flashcards
These are hand tools specifically designed to insert and tighten or to loosen and remove screws.
SCREWDRIVERS
is used to drive or fasten negative slotted screws.
a. Slotted / Flat Screwdriver
used to drive or fasten positive slotted screws.
b. Phillips Screwdriver
Precision Screwdriver Set
Precision Screwdriver Set
It is a device for applying heat to melt solder in attaching two metal parts.
Soldering Iron
is a place where the soldering iron is placed during usage.
Soldering Tool Stand
is used in removing soldered wires and components on printed circuit boards for troubleshooting and repair purposes.
Desoldering tool
is used for holding, bending, and stretching the lead of electronic component or connecting wires.
Long Nose Pliers
is a wire-cutting pliers, though they are not used to grab or turn anything, but are used to cut wires.
Side Cutter
is a pair of opposing blades much like scissors or wire cutters
Wire Stripper
is used to bore or drill holes in the printed circuit board (PCB) with sizes from 1/32” – 1/16”
12V Mini-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”.
Portable Electric Drill
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.
Metal Files
parallel in width and tapered in thickness; they are used for flat surfaces and edges
Flat file
tapered in width and thickness, coming to a point, and is a narrow than a standard half round and use for filling inside of rings
Half round file
it is also called rat-tail which is gradually tapered and used for many tasks that require a round tool, such as enlarging round holes or cutting a scalloped edge
Round file
is a common tool used in cutting various trades and crafts for a variety of purposes
Utility Knife
is used for cutting metals. Some have pistol grips which keep the hacksaw firm and easy to grip.
Hacksaw
is a convex lens which is used to produce a magnified image of an object.
Magnifying Glass
made of bristles set in handle, use for cleaning dirty parts of a circuit or an object.
Paint Brush
It 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 observe
Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter
commonly abbreviated CRO, for cathode-ray oscilloscope, or scope is a piece of electronic test equipment that allows signal voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical potential differences (vertical axis) plotted as a function of time or of some other voltage (horizontal axis)
Oscilloscope
A signal generator is a device which produces simple wave forms.
