PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Soder-Wick offers the state of the art in
desoldering technology. Soder-Wick is
designed for today’s heat sensitive
electronic components using lighter mass,
pure copper braid construction that allows
for better thermal conductivity, even at low
temperatures. Soder-Wick responds faster
than conventional desoldering braids
thereby minimizing overheating and
preventing PCB damage. A full range of
sizes and flux types are available, including
Rosin, No Clean, unfluxed and a high
temperature Lead-Free version. Whatever
the requirement, Soder-Wick has the
answer.
Requires little or no post solder cle aning
No corrosive residues
Optimized construction for faster
wicking and heat transfe r
Halide free
Minimizes the risk of heat damage to
components and circuit boards

STATIC DISSIPATIVE PACKAGING
Soder-Wick SD is packaged on Static
Dissipative bobbins in 5 and 10-foot lengths
to minimize the risk of damage associated
with static electricity. The static dissipative
bobbins qualify as electrostatic discharge
protective per MIL-STD-1686C and MIL-
HDBK-263B, and meet the static delay rate
provision of MIL-B-81705C.

Technical Data Sheet
Soder-Wick
Desolderin g Braid
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
For industrial use only.
Read MSDS carefully prior to use.
1) Choose a Soder-Wick desoldering braid width
equal to or slightly larger than the pad or
connection.
2) Choose a solder iron tip equal to or slightly
larger than the pad or connection.
3) Set temperature of iron between 600-750°F
4) Place wick on solder joint and place tip of hot
iron on top of wick
5) As solder becomes molten, the color of the wick
will change from copper to silver.
6) Remove wick and iron from solder joint
simultaneously once color change has stopped.
7) The component lead / pad is now clean and free
from solder.
8) Clip and discard the used portion of the wick.
9) If needed, clean PCB with CircuitWorks Flux
Remover Pen and remove soils with a
ControlWipes absorbent wipe.

HELPFUL HINTS:
Water Soluble Users: Use Soder-Wick
Unfluxed 70 or 75 Series to dip in water soluble
flux and then desolder normally.
Ball Grid Array: Use Soder-Wick BGA with a
large tipped iron to remove solder from a number of
BGA pads all at once.
