Pro-Wick Desoldering Braid
For the fastest wicking action, rosin flux coated braid is ideal for high volume PCB production/repair environments.
Desoldering braid, also known as desoldering wick, is a pre-fluxed copper braid used to remove solder. This allows for component replacement and the removal of excess solder (like bridging). You apply your soldering iron to the wick while it's on the solder joint. When both reach the solder's melting point, the flux activates, and the braided design uses capillary action to draw the solder up into the wick. Techspray wick has been a staple at PCB rework, repair, and prototyping stations for over 30 years.
Available in anti-static spools to prevent static build-up from damaging sensitive components.
