Frequently Asked Questions
What does the RRS-K-106 Introkit include?
ā¶
The RRS-K-106 Introkit comprises a wiring pencil with brake and enamel wire bobbin (RRP-123), glue strips (RRS-G-102), press-in strips (RRS-P-102), solder pins (RR-SP), solderable enamel wires (RRP-G-105, RRP-P-105, RRP-C-105), tinned copper wire (RRP-T-104), a high-density Eurocard (RRB-107), plus detailed instructions.
What prototyping method does this kit teach?
ā¶
It introduces the Rapid Wiring Method for high-density DIL circuit assembly, combining Roadrunnerās point-to-point hand wiring with glue/press strips to keep wiring neat and organized.
How do glue and press strips assist wiring?
ā¶
Glue strips (RRS-G-102) adhere to the board to guide wiring, while press strips (RRS-P-102) snap into place. Both form castellated channels, keeping wires aligned and preventing tangles.
What types of wire are included, and what are their uses?
ā¶
The kit includes 0.15āÆmm enamel wires (green, pink/red, copper/gold) for insulated colored wiring, and 0.25āÆmm tinned copper wire for non-insulated connections like track repairs and shorting links.
Where can I find instructions for using the kit?
ā¶
Comprehensive, downloadable guidance notes on the Rapid Wiring Method are provided, covering tool usage, wiring techniques, glue/press strip application, and board preparation.
