The sharp corners of the square terminal post bite into the wire during the wrapping process, creating a cold-welded, airtight bond that prevents oxygen from reaching the contact surface.
Wire Wrap Components Component Intelligence
Precision wire for solderless, gas-tight interconnects.
What are Wire Wrap Components components?
Wire wrap is a specialized interconnect method using solid-core wire tightly coiled around square-post terminals. It creates a gas-tight, vibration-resistant connection without solder, ideal for rapid prototyping, high-reliability aerospace, and legacy system maintenance.
How to Choose Wire Wrap Components Components
Selecting the correct wire wrap depends on your terminal geometry and environmental requirements.
Gauge Selection
Standard 30 AWG is typical for high-density boards; ensure wire gauge matches the terminal post size to prevent mechanical failure.
Insulation Material
Kynar (PVDF) is the industry standard for its durability, flame resistance, and ease of stripping compared to PVC.
Solid vs. Stranded
Only solid-core wire is suitable for wire wrapping; stranded wire will not maintain the necessary tension for a gas-tight connection.
Post Compatibility
Verify the diagonal dimension of your square posts to ensure the wire wrap tool and wire gauge provide the correct number of turns.
Color Coding
Use color-coded insulation to simplify complex point-to-point wiring and facilitate easier debugging of prototype circuits.
