Repair wire (what is the real name?)
(1/6) > >>
implor:
I have been looking at Louis repairs video and I want the same type of repair wire for work.

Example:

But i can't find it to save my life.

I do find it at Aliexpress and Ebay (called phone repair wire) but I can't buy from there at work.

enameled wire is also something i have searched for but do not look like it's the same. His looks multi strand(but might not be?)

Places i'm allowed to buy from are mouser, digikey, Elfa.
tautech:
Bodge wire
Wirewrap wire
Electro Detective:

Snipped component legs and copper wire strands from electricals is what I use 99% of the time  :clap:

keeps the rubbish bin low, saves on landfill space,


and keeps the resident cheapskate happy  ;D

Louis, for the Very Thin Jumpers, uses strands stripped out of LVDS cables (that go from a laptop motherboard to the LCD).
You can also get old IDE Cables from older computers (linking the Harddrive to the Motherboard). Those are handy for use as muliple ribbons, or rip them in pieces for Insulated jumpers. Or Strip even further for indivual strands.

Just grab some faulty 2nd Hand Gear (Monitors, Hifi's Etc), and cut out all the wires you need.

I found nothing using those names :(. I know they are called that but it's not a "product name".
