Girls Thanksgiving Outfits Rylee Faith Designs Desoldering Wick, 0.10" Width, 5 Foot Spool, RoHS Compliant. 5 Feet Braid width: 0. 10in (2. 7mm) Ideal for large size solder joints Recommended minimum iron wattage: 80 Watt 3S Wick patented vacuumization technology is preferred by leading organizations worldwide. Vacuumization yields a high speed response wick for quickest and safest de soldering. A simultaneous comparison dip test (MIL STD 202 E Method 208 C) with competitive wicks will show the differences. 3S Wick flux is based on mildest non corrosive, non hygroscopic, non conductive rosins of 'no clean' quality. COMPLIES WITH EC Directives 2002 95 EC (RoHS1) EC Directives 2011 65 EC (RoHS2) EC Directives 2015 863 EC (RoHS3) EC Regulation (EC) No 1907 2006 of the European Parliament (REACH) SVHC 211 EC Regulation (EC) No. 1272 2008 of the European Parliament (CLP) Directives 2012 19 EU (WEEE) CFSI Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative TIPS AND TRICKS TIP #1 Use of solder tips with a chisel like tip end. Allows to softly and evenly squeeze the wick structure across the desolder area. Heat transfer is optimal. TIP #2 As a chisel sized tip preferably use one with approximately width of wick size. TIP #3 Having a too wide wick for a small pad? > Cut the wick in an angle. This makes a fine wick end with lower thermal mass. TIP #4 Having a too small wick or a too big solder deposit area? Fold the wick end and you get the needed "larger" sized wick. Make sure tip has enough thermal mass to heat the enlarged wick mass properly. TIP #5 Desoldering is soldering the wick end with the solder to be removed. Using the well known solderability dip test allows to check and compare any wick for proper desolder function and speed of absorption. TIP #6 3S Wick Desolder braid does recommend the use of electronic or thermostat temperature controlled soldering irons.
