In the study of theoretical electronics, it is easy just to focus on the interesting behavior of components like capacitors and diodes while ignoring the less glamorous features that connect these components. In this lesson, we refer to all of these connecting features as "hardware"/ In real life, it is often these relatively simple pieces of hardware that cause major equipment problems for the technician. You will study the connectors that join wire or cables to components, the sometimes electronic behavior of simple wires and cables themselves, and how the conductive properties of wire can be intentionally or inadvertently changed. You will learn how to mount components to various types of circuit boards (usually by soldering) and which particular types of components and boards require special attention.

Basic thru Intermediate

* Plugs, Sockets, Receptacles, and Terminals * Resistivity * Metal Hardware * Cells and Batteries * Methods of soldering wire and cable * Surface mount technology

Individuals in the Wastewater or Drinking Water Operator field who wish to be trained in the field or fulfill continuing education requirements through distance learning. Education Direct offers adult learners the opportunity to fulfill their training needs while still holding down a full time job as a result of studying on own time.
