At one time wire-wrapping had a certain popularity, even though it was still on the fringe, and even NASA used it and had instructions on how to do it.
I’ve only seen it in a device twice though, and one of those was an ancient tube radio.
I’m not sure where you’d get the material nowadays, not only the wire and wrapping tool but the special versions of various parts used in electronic with the extended connectors for the wire to wrap on.
Good luck wire-wrapping SMD part :D

Any electronics store sells Kynar wire and wire wrapping tools. If you use wire wrap sockets (also very easily obtainable), the wire wrapped circuit is more durable than the equivalent pcb soldered circuit. Wire wrapping is still heavily used in the telecom industry.

ANY electronics store deyjavont? Let’s keep it real now.

Yep, and they’re pretty good.

Just only get the blue wire from RS. The rest is crap.

…why is it i can mail this and it gets posted the next day
and when i submit over 100 years of popular science(multiple times) and mechanics for free on google, it doesnt get posted EVER(it had to be reposted by some other site and had jumps on the band waggon and posts it) had coulda beat them to it by a month but they didnt read any of my posts
but i submit a INSTRUCTABLE(btw, i wouldnt go with wire wrapping for the method, i’d soldered wires)
we still need a forum AND a wiki!

oooh, I also second the wiki and forums idea. I am relatively new to electronics and would love to have a solid place where I can ask questions and look up information without feeling like I am constantly being sold a product.

I love using wire-wrap wire for small scale hacks, but I have to admit I’m soldering it on my projects.

I know my local Rad Shmack doesn’t carry wire-wrap anything anymore, however the web site does.

Actually, condoms are something you always want to have in a survival kit; they can be used as canteens and now firestarters.

I have never used wire wrapping, as I never need to use it as a hobbyist. I had boxes of short lengths of multicolored telephone wire.
