The Great Search: Wire Wrap Wire


Listen Later

Thin 30 AWG 'wire wrap' wire can be used to solder to fine pitch pins and parts for repairs or debugging. We always recommend every engineer have a roll on hand - even though it is not good for use with a breadboard, it's essential for repairing or hacking PCBs.
Originally these were used for point-to-point circuit creation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wrap) with a wire-wrapping tool (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/jonard-tools/WSU-30M/5986) - before the cost of PCBs plummeted (https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/dkred).
Sometimes called Kynar wire, this is stocked at DigiKey - you might think "OK why is this a Great Search when you can just type wire wrap into the search box?" Well, watch to learn about a few options you may not have known about!
