SPECIFYING A WISKER DISK
Call 800-367-0486 with any questions regarding specifying your Wisker Disk
The letter and number of the Wisker Disk insert (part inserted between the two metal plates of the Wisker Disk Holder) indicates wisker size and spool size
The letter L, H or XH (light, heavy or extra-heavy) indicates the diameter of the nylon wisker
This letter corresponds to the specific range of wire AWG most commonly used with the disk:
L = Light………………………………35 AWG or finer
H = Heavy………………………………...35 – 25 AWG
XH = Extra-heavy……………..…Heavier than 25 AWG
Example: An L-06 Wisker Disk would be applicable to 35 or finer AWG on a 6” spool
