Ten lead-free copper wicks in five widths from .59 to 1.38 inches and 1.5 m length absorb solder quickly with low residue

  • Certifications and standardsLead Free Compliant
  • Low residue with no-clean flux leaves non-conductive, non-corrosive traces
  • Five widths from .59" to 1.38" match varied joint sizes
  • Pure copper braid gives fast heat conduction and strong capillary action
  • Flat stitch weaving pulls solder quickly without damaging PCB pads
  • Ten packs at 5 ft each supply ample length for daily use

Soldering Wick 10-Pack Width Range

This 10-pack of no-clean soldering wick contains five widths from .59" to 1.38" and 5 ft of braid per spool. Lead-free compliant copper braid is designed for desoldering tasks on electronic PCB circuit boards. The assortment suits hobbyists, lab technicians and repair shops that need multiple widths in one kit.

Flat Braid Installation Notes

Lay the wick on the joint, press the hot iron tip onto it and wait for the solder to melt into the braid. Flat-stitch weaving gives fast heat conduction and strong capillary action so solder is pulled away quickly. Remove the iron as soon as the solder is absorbed to avoid overheating the pad; the low-residue flux leaves a non-conductive, non-corrosive film that does not require cleaning.

Best For Multi-Width Desoldering Kits

Technicians who regularly encounter different pad sizes benefit from the five-width selection in a single package. Buyers who need only one specific width or a much longer continuous length should look at single-spool options instead. The pack is not suited for high-volume production lines that consume hundreds of feet per shift.

Questions about this item

How do I know the wick is drawing solder correctly during use?

The copper braid will visibly pull molten solder into its weave as you press the heated iron tip onto the joint, leaving the pad clean with only non-conductive, non-corrosive residue.

What widths and quantities come in the 10-pack and do I need extra flux?

You receive ten individual wicks measuring .59", .79", .98", 1.18" and 1.38" wide, each 5 ft long; the no-clean flux is already embedded so no separate flux is required.

Which width should I choose for a dense SMD pad versus a larger through-hole joint?

Use the 1.5 mm or 2 mm wick for tight SMD pads and the 2.5 mm, 3 mm or 3.5 mm wick for bigger through-hole connections to match the solder volume.
