no strip hookup wire i.electronics.repair, sci.electronics.design

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. Hul -- - for email, put the word "keeper" in the subject line - |

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

Consiolidated makes a 26 guage. Probably available through Digikey.

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

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. Hul In comp.arch.embedded DaveM wrote: "Hul Tytus" wrote in message ... Thanks Jim - I'll give that a try.

I've put a roll of 26 gage Kynar on the list. http://www.westlakeplastics.com/msds...ynar%20740.pdf "... 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. |

At GenRad we called such boards "blue-wired" for the color of the insulation. 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). :-) Cheers! Rich |
