Assorted AWG 22 jumper wires

Here's a step-by-step guide:

Materials needed:

• AWG 22 wire spools in different colors


• Wire stripper/cutter
• Pliers
• Ruler or measuring tape
• Safety glasses
• Masking tape or labels
• Pen or marker

Steps:

• Safety first: Put on safety glasses to protect your eyes.


• Choose wire colors: Select the AWG 22 wire spools in the colors you want for your jumper wires.
• Prepare the workspace: Lay out a clean and well-lit workspace. Ensure you have enough room to
work with the wires.
• Measure and mark: Use a ruler or measuring tape to mark the desired length for your jumper
wires. Aim for a length of between 5- 6mm for the exposed area.
• Cut with precision: Using the wire stripper/cutter, carefully cut the wires at the marked points.
Ensure precision to achieve the desired length.
• Strip the ends minimally: Use the wire stripper to remove a minimal portion of insulation from
both ends of each wire, keeping the exposed area between 5- 6mm. This exposed part of the
wire will be used for connecting to components.
• Organize and store: Once you've created wires of various colors and short lengths, organize them
neatly. You can use small containers, cable organizers, or secure with twist ties.
• While the exact lengths may depend on your specific needs, here's a suggestion for creating a
set of AWG 22 jumper wires in different lengths:

• Very Short Jumper wires(10 mm/ 20mm): Create few wires of length 10 mm and few of
20 mm in length.
• Short Jumper Wires (2 inches / 5 cm): Cut a few wires to a length of about 2 inches.
These short jumpers are handy for connecting components on a small breadboard or for
short-distance connections.
• Medium Jumper Wires (4 inches / 10 cm): Create a set of medium-length wires, around
4 inches long. These can be used for connections that require a bit more reach but are
still within the confines of a small to medium-sized breadboard.
• Long Jumper Wires (6 inches / 15 cm): Cut some wires to a length of approximately 6
inches. These longer jumpers are useful for spanning larger sections of a breadboard or
connecting components that are spaced apart.
Measure and cut wires accordingly, ensuring that you have a variety of lengths to accommodate different
scenarios. An example is shown below to refer to
