Wiring Pen

When you're wiring up an electronic circuit you can use a perforated board but still need to connect many points together. A printed circuit board does this for you but perf board doesn't, you have to add your own connections and that's where this tool comes in.

The wiring pen supplies thin "magnet wire" from a spool held in the spool holder, the wire is insulated and if you buy the correct type you can solder these wires without stripping the wire.

This makes for very quick and easy connecting up a complex circuit without worrying about the lines that cross and touch each other making electrical contact. Its a lot like wire wrapping without the long sockets and without the wrapping tool.

You solder the end of the wire to one point then pull the wire out to the next point you want to connect, cut the wire then solder the end down. No stripping and only the tip that you solder makes contact. The wire is so thin you can pass it through PCB vias or the perf board holes. In fact,
