Desoldering Braid
How do I remove solder from an old circuit to replace
a malfunctioning component?
De-soldering is required when electronic components
need to be removed from a circuit, usually because
they are faulty. It may sometimes be necessary during
testing or assembly, if a wrong part has been fitted or
a modification has to be made.
To professionally remove solder from a circuit, you
will need the following materials:
1. MG Chemicals Super Wick de-soldering braid
2. Soldering iron
What you need for removing solder from a circuit:
Soldering Iron
MG Super Wick
PROCEDURE
Step 1
Choosing the right braid
Match the bead to the braid.
One wide braid suitable
for many small beads.
Choose
a braid width that matches the size of the
solder bead to be removed.
If
there are many small beads, choosing a wider braid
will also speed up the Desoldering process.

Step 2
Using the braid
a. Heat up soldering iron
b. Place Super Wick on to solder bead
c. Place heated solder iron on to braid
Molten solder is drawn up by capillary
action into the braid. Careful not to overheat,
or 'drag whiskers' of solder over the board,
nor let the braid solidify on the joint!
Always remove braid and solder iron
together in a vertical motion.
