Various circuit components provide the majority of operating characteristics of any electrical circuit. Conductors are the means used to tie these components together. This course will explain the many important factors that determine the type of electrical conductor used to connect components, including the physical size of the conductor, its composition, its electrical characteristics, its weight, the cost, and the environment where the conductor will be used. Next, the course will assist the student in learning the basic skills of proper wiring techniques by explaining the different ways to terminate and splice electrical conductors. Various soldering techniques and the procedure to be followed when you lace wired bundles within electrical and electronic equipment will be discussed. Lastly, the course will explain the systems used for marking cables and wires, each type of diagram you will encounter when troubleshooting, testing, repairing, or learning about circuit or system operation, and safety practices relating to working around electrical or electronic systems.
