De-Solder
Wicks (Solder Braid)
De
-solder wicks or solder braid as it is otherwise known, is
made with tiny braided copper wire strands and is used for
the removal of solder from the circuit board during the repair
operation.
Heat
the copper braid while it is pressed between the solder pad
and the tip of the hot soldering iron.
When
the solder melts from the heat, the capillary action of the
braided wire will 'wick' the molten solder up off the circuit
board and into the braided wire. Works best with repairing
electronic kits and devices.
De Solder
Wick/Braid is available in four optimally arranged sizes
for almost any de-soldering job. De-solder wick is available
in spools with 1.5m, 15m and 25m length.
