Abstract:
1. A method of preparing a wire for attachment to an electrical or electronic component by soldering, the wire having a conductive member covered by an insulator formed of UV-sensitive photoresistive material, the method comprising: removing the entire thickness of the insulator from a desired length of the wire prior to soldering the wire, and maintaining the insulator on a remaining length of the wire, by: exposing the insulator on the desired length of the wire to UV light, or alternatively exposing the insulator on the remaining length of the wire to UV light, while shielding the unexposed length of the insulator from the UV light; immersing the wire in a photoresistive development solvent to dissolve the desired length of the insulator; and removing the immersed wire from the photoresistive development solvent, whereby the desired length of the electrically conductive member is placed in an uncovered and unattached condition of readiness for attachment to the electrical or electronic component by soldering.
