can i use 32gauge wire as replacement for 30 gauge wire in modding my psp??

DubbleDutch · « **Reply #1 on:** July 02, 2008, 04:38:07 AM »

as long as it is thin and it fits

and doesnt cause any shorts

the 32 awg kynar wire is thinner than the 30 awg..
are you sure its ok?

DubbleDutch · « **Reply #3 on:** July 02, 2008, 05:59:57 AM »

as long as you can solder it to the leds there is no problem

no problems man

the main thing you have to watch for when it comes to thickness is voltage rating as it could burn out if its rated lower then what your using

but 32 AWG should be able to handle any voltage you will come across when modding a PSP as i've used 0.1mm magnet wrap with no issues so i don't think you'll have any problems

another question please..
about the LEDs..

the L.E.D.s used in backlight of cellphones
are they the same or can i use it for modding in PSP??

i dont know if they are SMD L.E.D.s..

they sure are the same. That's what I was going to use in my psp when I got around to it.

DANG!!! There is smaller wire than the 30AWG?

yeah, it should work though, but good luck stripping the wire.

ragrme · « **Reply #9 on:** July 02, 2008, 05:45:57 PM »

@jwhite lightning..
yes there is, in fact there is 35 or 36 AWG which is the thinnest..
see AWG in wikipedia for details..
theres no worries in stripping hehe.. tnx man..

you can easily strip the wire with your soldering iron

don't forget to clean the soldering iron after it.

@talos
thanks for the welcome..

@dubbledutch
thanks for the info, its a good idea..

DubbleDutch · « **Reply #13 on:** July 04, 2008, 06:35:17 AM »

just put the wire on the iron

then put a knife on the wire, and then slide the wire away from the iron (be sure to keep pressing a little bit with your knife

so the insulating will get off the wire.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #14 on:** July 09, 2008, 06:38:47 AM »

i use a different way to remove the insulating from the wire. I just dip part of it in the flux then the solder just burns it off perfectly for me.
