wire that heat strips insulation

Though, Hamtronics had some famous preamplifier kits, and I seem to recall they used insulated wire that could be stripped with heat. I never had a Hamtronic kit,but thought I saw in some instruction manuals some coils wound on forms that the wire went through the pins and they were heated to do the soldering . Most of the kits were written about in Ham Radio magazine, so you could build without the kit. That's one reason I mentioned them, maybe one of the articles gives detail about the wire (and maybe not, maybe they wanted you to buy the kit). That is the type of wire I am looking for if the insulation melts out at normal soldering temperature. Around that time I got a large roll of thin gauge wire which I thought might be this sort of wire, but I'm sure I must have tried and failed. But I can't remember. It was in a box of junk I got for a few dollars, and 45 years later I still have some of that roll. Certainly that insulation would melt, but I was never sure if it was deliberate, or just because insulation tends to melt. Michael |
