Although less popular these days, wire-wrap is still a very relevant, easily reversible solder-free way to assemble (prototype) systems using wire-wrap wire and a wire-wrap tool. This latter tool can ...
Many years ago, before PCBs and high pin count, non-dual-inline package (DIP) ICs took over the world, I encountered “wire wrap” as a technique for doing interconnects on both prototypes and even ...
An early method of wiring circuit boards to each other. The boards were plugged into a backplane that contained metal prongs, which were wired together using a special tool. The tool stripped the end ...
