The tightly woven, oxide-free, high-purity copper braid is pre-coated with \u003cstrong\u003eRMA rosin mildly activated flux\u003c\/strong\u003e to provide fast wicking action with minimal contact time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis #4 \u003cstrong\u003edesoldering braid\u003c\/strong\u003e measures 2.5 mm (0.10 inch) wide, making it suitable for cleaning PCB pads, removing excess solder, correcting solder bridges, and repairing through-hole or surface mount connections. Its blue spool provides quick identification within a color-coded wick width series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh-Purity Copper Desoldering Braid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tightly controlled copper weave promotes efficient capillary action, drawing molten solder away from the work area quickly and evenly. Precise, localized heat transfer helps reduce thermal stress on sensitive components and PCB pads compared with broader heating methods such as hot air or vacuum rework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast solder absorption also helps minimize iron dwell time, reducing the risk of lifted pads, damaged traces, and overheated components. This makes the \u003cstrong\u003ecopper solder wick\u003c\/strong\u003e a reliable choice for professional electronics technicians, repair benches, engineering labs, and circuit board rework stations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRMA Flux Solder Wick for PCB Rework\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe braid is pre-coated with \u003cstrong\u003eRMA flux\u003c\/strong\u003e, eliminating the need to apply flux separately for many common rework tasks. Its flux classification meets \u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/IPC J-STD-004 type ROL0\u003c\/strong\u003e, indicating rosin-based, low-activity flux with low halide content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications for this \u003cstrong\u003ePCB solder wick\u003c\/strong\u003e include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCleaning solder from circuit board pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemoving excess solder from component leads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorrecting solder bridges and shorts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePreparing pads for replacement components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThrough-hole component removal and repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSurface mount touch-up and rework\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBenchtop electronics servicing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGeneral circuit board repair and maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e25 ft Solder Removal Braid for Service Benches\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25 ft (7.5 m) roll provides substantially more \u003cstrong\u003esolder removal braid\u003c\/strong\u003e than common 5 ft rolls, reducing replacement frequency during regular repair and production work. It is supplied on a non-ESD spool and is ideal for general benchtop use where a larger supply of desoldering wick is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, place the braid over the solder joint and apply a properly heated soldering iron tip to the top of the braid. Once the molten solder has wicked into the copper, lift the iron and braid from the connection together.
