Introduction

Wire wrapped connections consist of a number of turns of wire tightly wrapped around a metal post using a special wrapping tool. They are used in certain types of electronic equipment as an alternative to soldered connections.

Wire wrapped connections can be used only for solid (i.e. single strand) conductors. The wire to be used is usually specially manufactured for wire wrapping work. The conductor size is commonly measured in American Wire Gauge (AWG).
