If you don’t like Solder…

There are a lot of LEDs. What if you don’t like to solder them, but you must use all of them???
Don’t worry my teacher, Peter teaches me a very good way!!
You will need pliers, a knife, a manual wire wrap tool, a bundle of wire wrap, heat gun (image from left to right), and heat shrink tubing.

I really like my heat gun. It’s very handy. It’s made by PRO-IRODA INDUSTRIES, INC and the model number is MJ-600.



First, cut a length of wire and put it into the middle of the blue wire wrap tool. You need to use your right thumb and press down the wire, which comes out from the hole.

Then you can either use your left hand, or use pliers to pull out the wire.


After you strip the wire, you then insert it into the bottom of the tool. There is a very small hole near the edge.

There is a bigger hole in the bottom of the tool where you can insert one lead pin.

Now, it twisting time!! Hold your LED and turn the tool clockwise 8-10 times. Your LED and wire will have a very strong connection.

HOW to WIRE-WRAP

Of course, it will be great to use heart shrink. :)

How many have I made now?

It’s around 250!!!
