[Elecraft] Wire gauge for Toroids

Fri Dec 26 18:17:15 2003

The number of turns will be different since you're using a heavier guage
wire.  Then again it may not make alot of difference if the guague is not
much thicker than the original.  I'd suggest you go the Radio Shack and but
their magnet wire pack.  It has 3 or 4 of the most common sizes and I fairly
sure the size you want is in there.
Priced at about $3 so no biggie.

Usually thinner wire is used if the toroid has a lot of turns where a
heavier guage wire would overrun the circumfrence of the toroid.
