FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 1030

When attaching a terminal to the end of an electric cable, it is important to ensure what?

The color match

The voltage compatibility

The tensile strength of the joint is at least equal to that of the cable

It is important to ensure that the tensile strength of the joint is at least equal to that of the cable when attaching a terminal to the end of an electric cable. This is because the terminal and cable must be able to withstand the same amount of force without breaking or becoming disconnected. Choosing a terminal with a lower tensile strength could result in an unsafe connection that may fail under normal use. While matching the color and ensuring voltage compatibility are also important when working with electric cables, they are not the most critical factors in this scenario. The waterproof rating is also important when working with certain types of cables, but it is not directly related to the strength of the joint. Therefore, C is the best option as it directly addresses the most important aspect of attaching a terminal to an electric cable.
