Wire Wrapping Questions

[redbrickhat]

I have some questions about wire wrapping:


A) Can someone direct me to a web page or book that shows photos on how
to wire daisy chains, make firm connections to posts, and organize wire
bundles for optimal space?

I've read how to do these but could use some photographic references.



B) My wire wrapped boards look cluttered and messy. I could use a good
strategy for the most efficient placement of the wire wrap sockets.



Thanks.

Old maybe but still one of the quickest ways to prototype so long as
you dont need to use surface mount devices.

assuming the joints are good m and they are known to test bad and look
good .

Because for some applications it's perfect.

Personally I am not interested in wire wrap , gave it up 30 years ago.
Gimmie the smell or rosin in the morning.

I wire wrap because I'm not allowed to solder yet.



Thanks for the responses but I'm still looking for some photos of the
step by step wire wrap process.



Again, thanks.

Bummer. If you don't solder the ground pins of the sockets
to the ground plane of the board, you could end up with a noisy mess.

I'm still looking for some photos
of the step by step wire wrap process.

Here's an old trick on doing daisy chains:

Before you close that page,
click the Proportional font link at the top of the page
or your next Google page view will be monospaced.

If you mean by old school, that it is not used anymore, then you are wrong.
If rather you mean, that as "Sly and the Family Stone" is old school R&B,
but still very relevant and played and danced to in many venues, then you
are correct.

I take it you don't do telecommunications.

You can take anything you like but you are very wrong , now figure out
the headers

Are you claiming that you are in telecomm and haven't used wire wrap in
thirty years? If so, I simply don't believe you.

Excuse me?

Images look great. Web page seems dead though.

I used to ( read back) all I do these days is very specific work and
have no need of it , make of that what you will .
