- imglorp 6y agoSome aerospace applications required wire wrap for a long while because of its better vibration resistance vs solder. There were square profile bonding posts around which wire was tightly wound for a half dozen turns or so. The sharp edges of the post would thus make 24 points of contact, also biting through surface oxidation.
