The Proper Way to Hookup Components
You are provided with leads that have banana plugs on one end and alligator clips on the other
end. The banana ends plug into the Data Acquisition Card while the clip leads attach to small
components like resistors and capacitors.
Note how the clip ends attach
to the component leads with
the alligator clips clamping
down on the component
leads. This makes a good
connection and, also,
prevents the alligator clips
from touching each other.
Make certain that you use
good practice in hooking up
components this way.
