Desoldering Braid Solder Remover Wick 1.5M Copper Wire
Desoldering Braid Solder Remover Wick 1.5M Copper Wire
1.5M Copper Desoldering Braid — Precision Solder Remover Wick
Keep your electronics projects clean and professional with this 1.5M Copper Desoldering Braid. Engineered from high-purity copper and copper alloy, this solder remover wick delivers exceptional capillary action, drawing molten solder away from PCB pads quickly and efficiently — helping you protect delicate components from prolonged heat exposure.
Whether you're reworking a circuit board, removing excess solder from joints, or making precision repairs, this desoldering wick gives you the control and reliability you need. Available in 16 diameter options, you can choose the exact width to match your application — from fine SMD work to larger through-hole joints.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a desoldering braid wick and how does it work?
A: A desoldering braid wick is a tightly woven copper mesh that uses capillary action to absorb molten solder from PCB pads and joints. You simply place the wick on the joint, apply heat with a soldering iron, and the copper braid draws the liquefied solder up and away from the surface — leaving a clean, solder-free pad. This 1.5M copper desoldering braid is precision-woven to maximize surface tension and tin-absorption efficiency.
Q: What material is this desoldering braid made from?
A: This desoldering wick is made from high-quality copper and copper alloy. Copper's excellent thermal conductivity and natural surface tension properties make it the ideal material for rapidly and thoroughly absorbing solder during electronics repair and rework tasks.
Q: Which braid diameter should I choose for my project?
A: The right diameter depends on the size of your solder joints. Narrower braids (e.g., 1.0–1.5 mm) are best suited for fine SMD components and tight PCB traces, while wider braids (e.g., 2.5–3.5 mm) work well for larger through-hole joints or when removing significant amounts of solder. With 16 diameter options available, you can match this desoldering wick precisely to your application.
Q: How long is each roll of desoldering braid?
A: Each roll of this solder remover wick measures 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet) in length, providing ample material for multiple desoldering sessions across a variety of electronics repair and rework projects.
