Description

A desoldering wick, also known as desoldering braid, is a tool used to remove unwanted solder from a circuit board, typically during repair or rework of electronic components.

🔧 Description of Desoldering Wick:

  • Material: It is made of fine strands of copper wire braided together. Copper is used because it has excellent thermal conductivity and attracts molten solder.

  • Flux Coating: Most desoldering wicks come pre-coated with flux to help improve solder flow and removal efficiency.

  • Appearance: It looks like a flat, thin braided wire roll, usually wound in a small plastic spool for easy handling.

🛠️ How It Works:

  1. Place the Wick: The wick is placed over the solder joint to be cleaned.

  2. Apply Heat: A soldering iron is placed on top of the wick, heating it up.

  3. Solder Absorption: As the wick heats, it melts the solder underneath, which is then drawn into the braid by capillary action.

  4. Remove Wick: Once the solder is absorbed, the wick is removed, and the cleaned joint remains behind.

✅ Uses:

  • Removing excess solder

  • Cleaning up solder bridges (accidental connections)

  • Desoldering components from PCBs

⚠️ Tips for Use:

  • Always use a fresh section of the wick for better results.

  • Avoid overheating the PCB to prevent damage.

  • Trim the used portion before the next use.
