Re: Neurotic about Toroids

[Robert C.Abell]

Lee,
I burn off the insulation using a GC brand  "Snap Vacuum Solder Popper".
Heat the iron, melt a bit of solder into the hole into the tip end,
insert the wire into the small hole at the iron tip up to the edge of
the toroid, allow the wire to heat until the insulation burns off, about
2 seconds, withdraw the wire and you will find it tinned and perfectly
clean except for the very top end next to the toroid. Scrape this crud
off and your toroid is ready to insert into the board pads. A perfect
job every time.
Have fun!
