Desoldering Wick

Oops! Made a small mistake in your project? Need to correct a faulty solder joint? This desoldering wick is your perfect solution! Specifically crafted for lead-free applications, it features a copper braid in a lead-free alloy. The flux adheres to F-SW 32 standards (rosin without halides), so you won't need to clean up flux residues. It's halogen-free and comes on an ESD-safe bobbin. With a length of 1.5m and a width of 1.5mm, and no SVHC as of 17-Dec-2014, it's an ideal choice for your desoldering needs.

Using this desoldering wick is easy. First, heat up the soldering iron. Then, place the wick on the solder joint you want to remove. Press the hot soldering iron tip on the wick. The heat will melt the solder, and the wick will absorb it. When you're done, gently lift the wick off the joint. Make sure to use the wick on a well - ventilated surface. After use, store the wick in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition. Also, don't touch the hot soldering iron or the wick right after use to avoid burns.
