Rev. H (5/21) Page 1 of 2 Soder-Wick Rosin Flux Desoldering Braid Product Description Soder-Wick offers the state of the art in desoldering technology. Soder-Wick is designed for todays 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. Soder-Wick Rosin has the fastest desoldering action in the industry. Flux residues must be cleaned after the rework process. Typical Applications Soder-Wick desoldering braid safely removes solder from: Thru-hole Components SMT Pads and BGA Pads Typical Product Data and Physical Properties Micro Circuits Flux Type: Rosin Grade WW, Type R Terminals Specifications: ANSI/IPC J STD-004 Lugs and Posts MIL-F-14256 F Identification Script Shelf Life: 2 years RoHS Compliant Yes Static Dissipative Packaging Soder-Wick 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.

H (5/21) Page 2 of 2 Soder-Wick Rosin Flux Desoldering Braid Soder-Wick Is Designed To Meet or Exceed the Usage Instructions For industrial use only. Read SDS carefully prior to use. Following: 1) Choose a Soder-Wick braid width equal to or slightly MIL-F-14256F, Type R larger than the pad or connection. NASA-STD-8739.3 2) Choose a solder iron tip equal to or slightly larger than DOD-STD-883E, Method 2022 the pad or connection. ANSI/IPC J STD-004, Type ROL0 3) Set temperature of iron between 600-750 F. BELLCORE TR-NWT-000078 4) Place wick on solder joint and place tip of hot iron on ANSI/IPC J SF-818 top of wick. 5) As solder becomes molten, the color of the wick will change from copper to silver. HELPFUL HINTS: 6) Remove wick and iron from joint simultaneously once Water Soluble Users: Use Soder-Wick Unfluxed 70 or 75 color change has stopped. Series to dip in water soluble flux and then desolder normally. 7) The component lead / pad is now clean and free from solder. Ball Grid Array: Use 6 red Soder-Wick with a large tipped 8) Clip and discard used portion of the wick iron to remove solder from a number of BGA pads all at once. 9) If needed, clean PCB with CircuitWorks Flux Remover Pen and remove soils with a ControlWipes absorbent wipe.
