Fully compatible with any make or model of wire wrapping tools, this 3" wire wrapping bit is perfect for wrapping 24 AWG wire around binding posts when used in conjunction with a wire wrapping tool.

Wire Wrapping is a method of making a wire connection by coiling the bare wire around the sharp corners of a terminal under mechanical tension. The technology was developed as an alternative to soldering, which presents various safety and reliability problems in many applications. A principal advantage of wire wrapping is that it provides a high-reliability connection that is also easily removed to correct or modify a wiring layout. Wire wrapping subjects the wire to tremendous tension and compression forces, causing the oxide layer on both wire and terminal to be crushed or sheared, resulting in a clean, oxide-free metal-to-metal contact. A standard wrap is generally used for 1 8 AWG and larger diameter wires; a modified wrap is typically used for 26 AWG and smaller wires, and is used almost exclusively for 28 to 30 AWG wires. In either case, the wrap style affects only the connection's mechanical stability; both styles provide suitable electrical connections.

A "Regular" bit wraps the bare wire around the terminal. A "Modified" bit wraps a portion of insulation around the terminal in addition to the bare wire. This greatly increase the ability to withstand vibration.

Do not press too hard. Let the OK tools do the work. Excessive pressure can lead to overwrapping. Backforce "BF" to prevent overwrapping is available on most power tools and is recommended for use with 26 thought 30 AWG wire.

It's easy to feed wire into the slot in the OK bit correctly. Be sure the stripped end of the wire is "pushed-in" all the way

Just keep the OK tool on the terminal until the wrap is complete. Early removal can result spiral and open wraps

Wire wrapping is a precision technique and the wrong bit and sleeve just cannot do the job. Improper selection can cause problems ranging from "Pigtails" to loose wraps.
