Desoldering Wick Braid, 10-Foot No-Clean Copper Solder Remover in 1-5 Piece Pack Options for PCB Repair
Desoldering Wick Braid, 10-Foot No-Clean Copper Solder Remover in 1-5 Piece Pack Options for PCB Repair
This desoldering wick braid draws molten solder away from PCB pads, component leads and keyboard switches, helping correct soldering mistakes without bulky powered equipment. Its tightly woven copper construction improves heat transfer and capillary action, leaving a cleaner work area when removing relays, old wires, surface-mount alloy or excess solder.
Each documented roll is approximately ten feet long and 0.1 inch wide, with listed one- to five-piece pack configurations. The no-clean treatment leaves only a small amount of non-conductive, non-corrosive residue, reducing post-work cleanup. Place a fresh section over the joint, press a heated iron onto the braid until solder flows into it, then lift the iron and wick together. Trim used braid before the next joint.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the braid remove solder?
Heat applied through the copper weave melts the joint and capillary action pulls solder into the wick.
What size is each documented roll?
Each roll is approximately ten feet long and 0.1 inch wide.
Do I need to clean the board afterward?
The no-clean treatment leaves minimal non-conductive residue, though your repair process may still require inspection.
Can it help remove keyboard switches?
Yes. The listing includes re-soldering mechanical keyboard switches among its intended PCB repair uses.
