1 mm Copper Desoldering Braid – Precise Solder Removal for Electronic Repairs

Technical Specifications and Applications of 1 mm Desoldering Wick

This desoldering braided tape (also known as desoldering braid or solder wick) is a handy solder removal tool made of finely woven copper strands designed for efficient cleanup of excess solder. When heated with a soldering iron, the braid uses capillary action to draw molten solder away from joints and pads, preparing the surface for rework or component replacement.

How It Works:
Place the braid over the solder you want to remove. When heated together with the soldering iron, the molten solder is drawn up into the braid’s copper strands, leaving the joint clean. After use, the saturated section of braid is cut off and a fresh segment is used.

Key Features:
✔ Material: high-quality copper braid for excellent thermal conductivity
✔ Width: ~1 mm — ideal for fine and tight spaces
✔ Length: 1.5 m — ample length for multiple desoldering tasks
✔ Type: desoldering braid / solder wick — ideal for solder removal
✔ Flux Options: available in unfluxed or pre-fluxed variants (which helps activate solder removal faster)

Benefits:
✔ Provides clean and effective solder removal from joints and pads.
✔ Excellent for tight and inaccessible areas that are difficult to reach with other tools.
✔ Helps improve quality of rework and resoldering.
✔ Easy to use — simply place and heat with a soldering iron.

Applications:
✔ Desoldering excess solder in repair and rework tasks
✔ Cleaning solder from contacts, pins and SMD components
✔ Preparing PCBs for component replacement
✔ Electronics hobby, workshop, and DIY projects
