B Barry New Member Apr 28, 2004 #1 Hi all, What is the best wire to use as links on PC Boards? At present I am using solid core bell wire 0.6mm thick. Is that acceptable? Thanks. Barry.

B Barry New Member Apr 28, 2004 #3 Hello Nigel, Thanks for the reply. I did not think it was critical but as a newbie it is better to make sure! Barry.

A andrew2022 New Member Apr 28, 2004 #4 you can buy wire links (basically a piece of metal the length of a resistor)
G gerty Member Apr 28, 2004 #6 Have you tried using wire wrap wire? It's 30ga. kynar insulated and readily available.. It solders easily, but is current limited.....
