Step 5PREPARE THE WIRE WRAP SOCKET
.
Bending the leads on the wire wrap socket can be tricky. I ordered 4 and messed up 3 of them before finally getting the 4th one to bend without breaking. This is the method I finally got to work the best.
I one row of leads into a break board and slowly bent all 8 pins on that side to the shape I wanted. I then repeated this for the other row of leads. I did the final shape adjustments with a pair of pliers bending the pins one at a time. Any bends need to gentle curves instead of hard angles.
