ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: VPC performs wire-wrap terminations in accordance with IPC-A-620
standards.
NOTE: Wire-wraps must be performed with solid wire. Stranded wire will not
work for wire wrapping. VPC recommends 26 to 30 AWG wire.
1. Cut and strip the wire. Depending on the style of wire-wrap gun and
bit used, the wire is either stripped during the wrapping process or
needs to be stripped before the wrapping process.
NOTE: Refer to the user manual of your wire-wrap gun to determine in
which fashion your tool operates.
2. Insert the wire into the wire slot on the wire-wrap gun. With modied
and standard bits insert the wire in the wire slot as deep as possible.
With C.S.W. bits the wire has to be inserted all the way through the
wire slot until it goes out of the cutting window. The simplied sleeve
of the manual tool has no notch.
3. Hold the wire in place by hand (Figure A).
4. Position the terminal hole of the wire-wrap gun on the post to be
wrapped. The wire-wrap gun should be parallel with the contact.
The wire must continue to be held in place by hand.
5. Engage the wire-wrap gun to wrap the wire. During the wrapping
operation, gently press the tool forward onto the wire-wrap post.
The turns of the connection have to be nicely wrapped against the
other. Do not push too hard. Do not pull backwards. See Figure B for
a terminated contact in a module.
