Kit Builder Question on Toroid Inductor Winding Wire

Since there are a lot of kit builders on this forum I have a question that maybe someone can answer. What is the best "magnet" type wire for winding toroid style inductors. By best, I mean the enamel insulation on the wire for ease of removal and soldering and so on.

And, do you have a source for such wire.

thanks,
phil, K7PEH

Phil,

You want "Thermaleze" wire - it strips with heat. One source is Doug
Hendricks kits - http://www.qrpkits.com/.

Depends on the volume you need. I recently bought several pounds total
of different colors and gauges at about one-third the price of Mouser or
DigiKey from James Whyte at [hidden email]

He also sells on E-bay or you can contact him directly for a quote on
what you need. It's all new wire from Essex and comes on spools.

You want the type of insulation that is melted by the heat of soldering.
It goes by various names but generally is 155 deg C insulation,
sometimes with a overcoat which is known as type SPN.
