Desoldering Wick Solder Braid 1.5–3.5mm | PCB Tin Removal Tool
Desoldering Wick Solder Braid Wire – Clean PCB Pads Fast & Efficiently
Whether you're repairing electronics, reworking circuit boards, or tackling a home DIY project, this copper alloy desoldering wick makes tin removal quick and precise. Available in five widths (1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, and 3.5mm), this solder braid is engineered for maximum flux absorption and minimal residue — keeping your PCB pads clean and ready for the next connection.
Made in Mainland China.
Key Features
- High-Efficiency Tin Absorption: Precision-braided copper alloy construction maximises surface tension to draw molten solder up quickly and completely.
- 5 Width Options: Choose 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, or 3.5mm to match your specific PCB pad size and solder joint.
- Low Flux Residue: Specially treated flux coating accelerates tin pick-up while leaving behind minimal residue for a cleaner finish.
- Protects Sensitive Pads: Efficient heat transfer means less time at high temperature, helping to protect delicate PCB pads and surrounding components.
- Oxidation & Corrosion Resistant: Copper alloy material offers excellent thermal conductivity with built-in resistance to oxidation, ensuring consistent performance.
- Generous Length: Each spool provides 1.5 metres of braid wire — enough for multiple desoldering sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What widths of desoldering wick are available, and how do I choose the right one?
A: This desoldering braid wire is available in five widths: 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, and 3.5mm. As a general guide, choose a width that is equal to or slightly wider than the solder joint you are removing. Narrower widths (1.5mm–2.0mm) are best for fine SMD components and small through-hole joints, while wider braid (3.0mm–3.5mm) suits larger pads and heavier solder joints.
Q: How do I use desoldering wick solder braid correctly?
A: Place the tip of the desoldering wick flat over the solder joint you want to remove. Press your heated soldering iron on top of the braid and hold for a few seconds. The flux-treated copper fibres will quickly absorb the molten solder by capillary action. Once the braid is saturated, lift it away (along with the iron) and trim off the used section. Repeat as needed until the joint is clean.
Q: Will this desoldering wick work with my existing soldering iron?
A: Yes. This solder braid is compatible with all standard soldering irons and rework stations. For best results, use a clean, well-tinned iron tip and set the temperature appropriate to your solder type (typically 300–370°C for standard tin-lead solder).
Q: Is this product suitable for removing solder from sensitive PCB pads?
A: Absolutely. The precision copper alloy braid is designed for efficient, fast tin absorption so the iron contact time on your PCB is minimised, helping protect sensitive pads and nearby components from excessive heat exposure.
