Desoldering Braid, Pro Wick, Type R Rosin, 0.100"x25 ft, Size #4
The TechSpray 1804-25F Desoldering Braid Pro Wick is ideal for high-volume PCB production and 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, the solder is drawn up the wick. Techspray wick has been a mainstay at PCB rework, repair, and prototyping stations for over 30 years.
