Description:
This is a desoldering braid (also known as solder wick), a fine, flat braided copper wire used to remove unwanted or excess solder from PCBs and electronic components during rework, repair, or component replacement. When heated with a soldering iron while pressed against a solder joint, the braid's tightly woven copper strands draw up the molten solder through capillary action, effectively lifting it off the board — making it an essential tool for desoldering through-hole components, cleaning up solder bridges, and general circuit board rework.
The braid is treated with a rosin flux coating, which helps the copper wick more effectively absorb solder by improving wetting and reducing oxidation during the desoldering process. This particular reel offers a 3.0mm width, a versatile middle-ground size suitable for a wide range of common desoldering tasks — wide enough to lift solder efficiently from standard through-hole joints and pads, while still being manageable for more detailed work.
Packaged on a compact plastic spool with a clear label, the 1.5-meter length provides ample braid for multiple desoldering sessions before needing replacement, making it a practical addition to any electronics repair toolkit, workbench, or soldering station.
