no strip hookup wire

Who sells hookup wire that can be soldered without stripping? Typical
use is reworking pc boards. Some magnet wires are of this type, but solder
at too high a temperature for easy use on a pc board. The ones I've tried
will loosen the copper if joints aren't made quickly.

Any suggestions for a maker or seller for a wire in the 26 guage range
would be appreciated.

I use #24 teflon-covered wire. It resists solder, but can be stripped
in tight places simply by "pinching" with needle-nose pliers... very
handy for making tight PCB reworks. At GenRad we called such boards
"blue-wired" for the color of the insulation.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Thanks Jim - I'll give that a try. There's some thermocouple wire handy
that'll serve for a test.

I've used kynar insulated wire wrap wire like that .. the insulation melts
easily under soldering heat, and the wire is available in 26, 28 and 30 AWG.
Find it at most outlets and catalog distributors.

Cheers!!!

Consiolidated makes a 26 guage. Probably available through Digikey.

For prototyping work I often use enamelled copper wire in 26swg or thinner.
The coating that works best for me is the pinker one. It is even easy to
solder down at a kink in the wire for wire-through connections. The trick
is to just tin the very end before putting it down to the board.

Note that some of the enamel coatings are not so easy to burn off.

Thanks Dave. I tried that this afternoon with another brand of
30 gage wire-wrap wire and it worked. I've put a roll of 26 gage Kynar on
the list.

"... if this material is heated in excess of 600 F (315 C) hazardous
decomposition products will be produced. Hazardous decomposition products
include hydrogen fluoride and oxides of carbon, the concentrations of which
vary with temperature and heating regimens."



I'm not entirely sure if this applies to the finished insulation; the msds
refers to the raw pellets. I expect that it does, but don't know the risk
level relative to say flux or any of the other junk we burn and breathe.

I hacked a wire wrap tool to do this. A WSU-30M:
http://www.mouser.com/catalog/623/1537.pdf
I filed off the rivet holding the little stripper blade to the middle
of the tool, and stuck it in an X-acto handle. I could daisy-chain an
arbitrary number of pins (all .1" thru-hole, of course). :-)
