G100 Series, Wire Wrap

Wire wrap is a type of insulated single conductor wire that is used for connecting electronic components. The wire has exposed ends that are wrapped around a contact by either hand or automated tooling. This method of connection provides a reliable and secure connection, particularly in harsh environments where vibration and temperature fluctuations could cause other types of connections to fail. Wire wrap is available in various wire gauges, ranging from 24 AWG to 30 AWG. The wire also comes in different lengths, ranging from 0.250’ (76.20mm, 3.00”) to 1000’ (304.80m), providing users with options to meet their specific needs. To wrap the wire around the contact, different tools are available on the market. These tools come in different styles, including gun (battery, electric, or manual) and hand tools. Gun-style wire wrap tools are powered by a battery, electric motor, or require manual operation. They are designed for high-volume applications and provide fast and efficient wire wrapping. Hand wire wrap tools, on the other hand, are manual tools that require hand pressure to wrap the wire around the contact. They are suitable for smaller-scale projects or situations where precision is paramount. These tools come with different features, including an aluminum body, batteries included, a bit included, left and right-handed unwrapping, modified wrapping, and plastic body options. The aluminum body option provides a durable and lightweight tool that can withstand wear and tear. Batteries included options ensure that the tool is ready for use out of the box. A bit included option provides a convenient solution for users who need different sized bits for different wire gauges. Left and right-handed unwrapping options cater to both left and right-handed users. Modified wrapping options allow users to modify the wrapping process to suit specific project requirements. Finally, plastic body options provide a cost-effective solution for users who do not need the durability of an aluminum body. In summary, wire wrap is a type of insulated single conductor wire used for connecting electronic components. It is available in different wire gauges and lengths to meet specific needs. Different tools are available to wrap the wire around the contact, including gun (battery, electric, or manual) and hand tools. These tools come with different features, including aluminum and plastic bodies, batteries included, bits included, left and right-handed unwrapping options, and modified wrapping options.
