I wonder what differences they offer? |

I use wire wrap wire and the appropriate strippers. You can easily strip insulation and slide it down the wire just enough to expose a bare spot to solder to the component pin, then slide the insulation back down to the solder joint. Makes for a very clean looking, bullet proof connection. All you have to do is eyeball the insulation lengths you'll need ahead of time. Limit your daisy chains to 3 or 4 spots, or maybe 8" to 10" of wire, or it gets unwieldy. My preferred wire is AD-STRIP Kynar, and it is designed for CSW (cut/strip/wrap) usage -- another excellent way of prototyping, which I still use often. Only downside is the CSW bit is expensive (but it does seem to last forever). Makes prototyping so fast and fun. Wire-wrap is NOT dead. If you can make your circuit work in wire-wrap, it'll work on a PCB. |
