Yes, wire-wrapping is/was so great. Really good quality connections, no accidental connections due to solder ending up at the wrong places, easy to remove or change.
And no solder-iron that risks burning stuff. And no smoke either.
The only draw-back is that it seems to be so expensive and almost non-existant today.
- direwolf20 8mo agoBurning stuff isn't a problem when soldering. It sounds like you need a little equipment upgrade. Get a holder for your soldering iron, and a fume extractor (filtered fan).
- flakeoil 8mo agoI wasn't mainly thinking about the actual soldering process, although that can also be an issue with small components or when not focusing on where the iron touches while reading a schwematic. But more like when the solder iron is stuffed back in the holder and something else gets pushed against it or when I get stuck in the solder iron's power cable and the solder iron is pulled out of its holder. I guess with more space, less junk on the table and the power cable fixed somewhere would help, but still, it's an annoyance. I would prefer holding a wire-wrapping pistol than an iron.
