chosen is not important. If you are within a turn or two of the ideal 16, you are
fine.
6.
If you have extra wire past the amount needed to make 16 turns and terminate the
coil on the resistor lead, then cut the wire. You’ll probably cut no more than 1”
off the wire. Remove ½” of insulation from the end of the wire.
7.
Wrap three turns of the free-end of the magnet wire around the as yet unsoldered
power resistor lead.
8.
Apply plenty of heat, and then solder the magnet wire to this resistor lead.
9.
Set the assembly aside to cool, and then build a second such assembly.
10.
Test the resistance of both assemblies. Their resistance should be significantly
less than 0.5 Ohms.
11.
Form the leads and install one of these assemblies into the PCB as R10.
