Solder Wick (Desoldering Braid)

Solder wick, also known as desoldering braid, is a fine copper wire braid coated with flux. It is used to remove unwanted solder from PCBs, components, and terminals. When heated with a soldering iron, it draws in molten solder via capillary action, making it a vital tool for rework and repair tasks.

• Material: Fine copper braid with flux coating
• Width: Typically ranges from 1mm to 3mm (varies by product)
• Length: Sold in rolls, often from 1.5m to 3m
• Flux Type: Rosin or no-clean flux options available
• Usage: Used with soldering iron to absorb molten solder
• Applications: Circuit rework, repair, desoldering of through-hole or SMD components
