Wire Wrapping : The Solderless Connection

Origins Of The Technology Wire Wrapping is a technology that has been with us for over fifty years, and is still going strong in various telecommunications and electronics applications. It was originally developed in the late 1940’s by Bell Labs in the U.S.; they needed to develop a new system of interconnection of the copper cabling in their local exchange facilities, also known as Central Offices. Up until that time, soldering was the commonly used method for cable interconnection – but this approach created several problems in these applications.
