wire that heat strips insulation

I worked for a transformer company decades ago and they used wire that
stripped & tinned in a solder pot. Standard transformer wire for that
company at the time, as it saved time in production. Have a word
with your local transformer company or stockist...

Most of that wire needs around 400 deg C of heat to melt the insulation
for soldering. Way too much for circuit board work.
I bought some wire off ebay that was listed as solderable insulation.
Found out after I tried it that it required 390 deg C to melt the
insulation from the wire web page.

They list that type of wire as something like 155 deg C wire, but found
out that is the rated working temperature, not the soldering
temperature.

But it varies between makes of wire. With the real "enamelled" wire
this doesn't work.



I may have used the 'enamelled' type wire, but yes, the real insulation
of that type it will not 'strip' with solder.

There are many types of insulation that look like or similar to
enammelled wire, but are very different.
