Safety Flashcards
(9 cards)
What are potential electrical hazards when working with breadboards?
Loose connections causing sparks or short circuits.
What safety risk is posed by using incorrect voltage levels on breadboards or PCBs?
Overheating components or causing electric shocks.
Why must you be cautious of overheating when soldering PCBs?
Excess heat can damage components and cause burns.
What is a common hazard related to sharp component leads on PCBs?
Risk of cuts or puncture wounds.
How can static electricity damage electronic components?
It can cause electrostatic discharge (ESD) that destroys sensitive parts.
What personal protective equipment (PPE) should you use when soldering PCBs?
Safety glasses and heat-resistant gloves.
Why should liquids be kept away from breadboards and PCBs?
To prevent short circuits and electrical damage.
What should you do if you notice a burning smell when working with circuits?
Immediately turn off power and check for faults to prevent fire hazards.
How can you avoid potential hazards when handling PCBs?
By working on anti-static mats, using proper tools, and following safety procedures.
