Wire Wrap Wire (WWW?)
 
Anyone know where I can come by some 30 ga wire wrap wire? I am being told
that that is old technology. Gee whiz, I am old!

Would you believe - Radio Shack.

They only have three colors, though.

My local electronics shop has it in more colors than that, along with
an assortment of tools.

I would suspect that Newark has it somewhere in their catalog.

WW is less used, there are other, newer, prototyping techniques out
there as well.

Some component leads still have the squared profile ideal for WW.

Happy trails,

One color is fine with me. The two local stores claim that it is not available
anymore.

Google search for "wirewrap wire": first hit, RP Electronics, claims
to have it in stock in three colours, in 100 foot put-up.

Google search for "wire wrap wire": early hit, MarVac Electronics,
has it, probably in stock, in a wide variety of forms and colours.

Other hits are likely candidates as well.

Cheers,
Tom

Are you sure it is 30 gauge? I seem to remember RS wire as 28 gauge. I still
have a full bag of ww wire spools, along with several hundred sockets, I
built many a small machine like an cosmac elf with ww.

30 gauge is the standard gauge for wire-wrap wire.
I've used it a lot for building up one-off circuit boards. This is by
soldering, not wire-wrapping. The insulation type does make quite a
difference if you solder it. I think Kynar is the one that works well.

RS calls it "wrapping wire" Part No 278-501 is for the Red Color
