Desoldering Wick

Desoldering Wick, also known as solder braid, is an essential tool for electronics repair, rework, and PCB maintenance. Designed to remove unwanted solder cleanly and efficiently, this copper-braided wick delivers precise desoldering performance for hobbyists, technicians, students, and engineers. Whether you are repairing a circuit board, replacing components, or fixing soldering errors, a high-quality desoldering wick ensures smooth, damage-free results every time.

Manufactured using oxygen-free copper (OFC) strands and coated with high-performance flux, the Desoldering Wick instantly absorbs melted solder through capillary action, providing fast and reliable desoldering with minimal heat exposure. This prevents PCB pad lifting, component damage, and overheating—common issues faced during solder removal. Its uniform braid design enhances solder flow, making it ideal for both leaded and lead-free solder.

Perfect for use in electronics labs, repair centers, engineering workshops, and academic institutions, this desoldering wick is a must-have accessory for anyone working with circuit boards or surface-mount devices (SMD). Lightweight, portable, and easy to handle, it guarantees professional-grade results even for beginners.

Key Features

1. High Absorption Efficiency

The fine copper braid quickly absorbs molten solder, enabling fast cleanup of solder joints. This helps reduce working time and improves productivity during electronic repairs and rework operations.

2. Premium Oxygen-Free Copper

Manufactured from pure copper with excellent thermal conductivity, the wick allows efficient heat transfer and uniform solder flow, ensuring smooth and clean desoldering results.

3. Flux-Coated for Instant Action

Pre-coated with high-grade flux, the braid requires no additional chemicals. As soon as the heated soldering iron touches the wick, solder instantly wicks into the braid.

4. Multi-Width Options for All Components

Available in various widths, the desoldering wick is suitable for:

• Fine-pitch SMD components

• Through-hole components

• Large solder joints

• General PCB cleanup

5. Safe for Sensitive PCBs

The wick absorbs solder quickly, minimizing the time heat is applied. This reduces the risk of PCB pad lifting, track damage, and component stress.

6. Convenient Spool Design

The anti-static spool protects the braid from moisture and oxidation while allowing smooth dispensing and easy storage.

7. Compatible with All Soldering Irons

Works seamlessly with temperature-controlled or regular soldering irons across various brands.

Applications

The Desoldering Wick is widely used in several electronic assembly, repair, and rework tasks, including:

1. PCB Repair and Rework

Remove excess or unwanted solder from printed circuit boards during component replacement or troubleshooting.

2. SMD and Through-Hole Component Removal

Ideal for cleaning pads when replacing SMD ICs, resistors, capacitors, transistors, and connectors.

3. Fixing Soldering Mistakes

Perfect for correcting solder bridges, blobs, or short circuits caused by excessive solder.

4. Hobby Projects and DIY Electronics

Useful for students, makers, and hobbyists working on microcontroller boards, Arduino projects, robotics, and prototype development.

5. Professional Electronics Servicing

Preferred in service centers for repairing smartphones, laptops, power supplies, home appliances, and automotive electronics.
