Pro-Wick Desoldering Braid
Pro Wick Blue #4 Braid – 100′ AS
Pro-Wick desoldering wick enables the fastest solder wicking action
For the fastest wicking action, rosin flux coated braid is ideal for high volume PCB production/repair environments.
Desoldering braid or desoldering wick is a pre-fluxed copper braid that is used to remove solder, which allows components to be replaced and excess solder (e.g. bridging) to be removed. The soldering iron is applied to the wick as it sits on the solder joint, and when both are brought up to the solder’s melting point, the flux is activated and, through capillary action from the braided design, solder is drawn up the wick. Techspray wick has been a mainstay at PCB rework, repair and prototyping stations for over 30-years.
Available in anti-static spools (marked with “AS”) to prevent static build-up from damaging sensitive components.
