HAKKO WICK Desoldering wire

Wrong use of the desoldering wire may tear patterns from a P.W.B. or damage discrete components.

Trick to remove solder well with the desoldering wire

In order to remove solder well, make sure to take the preventive measure below: preliminary soldering improves heat conductance.

1. Apply a bit of solder to the tip of solder iron.

2. Apply a bit of solder to the tip of the desoldering wire. Cut the soldered tip of the wire at an angle of 45 degrees. Solder should remain attached.


Apply a bit of solder to the tip of the desoldering wire.	Cut the soldered tip of the wire at an approx. 45 degrees. Solder should remain attached. In a similar manner, cut the wire with solder remain attached during desoldering if necessary.
