Desoldering Braids
MG Chemicals Super Wicks are desoldering braids made of clean, oxide-free copper wire with a tight weave. The best solder wick is designed for solder removal to ease the replacement of electronics components without damaging the board or components. They reduce rework/repair time and minimize the risk of heat damage to the board.
Our desoldering braids’ exceptional weave design and heat transfer capacities result in very fast and large capacity wicking, faster than any other competitive brand on the market.
We offer four solder wick types: Type ‘R’, Lead-Free, and No-Clean and No-Flux systems. They are available in a wide variety of lengths, and widths. All 5 braids are housed in static-free bobbins.
Features: Copper wick – high purity oxide free copper | Tight weave | Fast wicking | Environmentally stable | ESD safe bobbins for 1.5 m size | NSF – Non-Food Compounds Program listed (Excluding 400-NF series)
Applications: Solder removal | Reworking and repair of circuit boards | Benchtop repair and service | Surface mount assembly touch-up
