Practice Back-Probing connectors on the Bench

1.0 Meter reading Ohms with wires not connected
1.1 Turn on the meter, set it to measure ohms, make sure the leads are not touch anything (open circuit). Record the readout on your meter: OL

1.2 Describe what the readout above means when doing electrical testing:
That means no short in the multimeter.

2.0 Meter reading Ohms with wire connected
2.1 Meter on, set to Ohm, touch leads together and record the readout on your meter. The reading is 0.2 Ohm

2.2 Describe what the readout above means when doing electrical testing:
The internal resistance of multimeter is 0.2 ohm.

3.0 Practice back probing connectors
3.1 Find a hard shell connector, with the attached terminals and wires that you can test.
3.2 Back probe a wire on one side, probe gently from the front on the other side, and measure the resistance. Record the reading: 0.3 ohm

3.3 Do you know you made a good connection with the wire? And describe how you know?
Feel the back probing to the end of the terminals.
