I'm looking to solder a individual wire to each of the leads of a voltage regulator. Any advice in keeping them from touching? See item below.

We'd: * Clamp vice grips on the leads to keep movement of the leads from weakening the seal between the leads and the plastic body of the device. * Bend each lead skyward [90* to the deck] at a different distance from the body. * Wrap the insulated wire to be soldered around each lead. * Solder the wire to the lead.

1) Use insulated wire & only strip back as much as you need for a good joint.

2) Wrap insulation tape around each joint (package lead with wire) after soldering to avoid any possibility of touching.

30 gage wire and lap solder, you will have no issues.

Mike , Look at http://www.circuittechctr.com, Guidebook, section 6,6.1. This method of attaching jumper wires is in accordance to the acceptability criteria of IPC-A-610 section 11.2.4.3. You did not specify what wire AWG is. I am assuming it is smalle than 20AWG.
