Precision Copper Braid for PCB Rework

The SYOKO SW-2530 is a 2.5mm wide, 3 metre long desoldering wick made from 99 percent pure copper. Its fine weave absorbs molten solder quickly while leaving minimal residue and no halide contamination. The wick ships in a protective plastic shell that prevents oxidation during storage. It suits technicians, hobbyists and students who need clean solder removal on dense circuit boards.

Ideal for Tight-Pitch Work.

This width fits between closely spaced leads and small surface-mount pads where wider braid cannot reach. The 3 metre length supports many small repairs but may fall short for continuous production-line desoldering. Users who regularly clear large through-hole joints or heavy ground planes should consider a broader wick instead.

Handles 60/40 and 63/37 Alloys Up to 183 °C

The copper braid comfortably removes standard tin-lead solders that melt at 183 °C (361 °F). It provides enough length for dozens of component-level jobs on phones, laptops or prototype boards. Very large thermal masses such as multi-layer power planes or thick copper pours can exceed the wick’s heat capacity, slowing absorption.

Questions about this item

What soldering iron temperature do I need for the 2.5 mm wick to absorb 60/40 or 63/37 solder?

The 60/40 and 63/37 solders listed alongside this wick melt at 183 °C / 361 °F, so set your iron at or above that temperature for the braid to draw the solder away cleanly.

Can I use the 2.5 mm braid on older through-hole joints that were made with thicker solder wire?

Yes — the fine weave and 99 % pure copper handle both 60/40 and 63/37 alloys, so it will wick solder from legacy through-hole pads just as it does from modern SMD pads.

How do I confirm the wick is performing correctly after I open the plastic shell?

Place the braid on a test joint, apply the hot iron, and watch the solder flow into the copper strands; a rapid, residue-free uptake shows the no-clean flux and fine weave are working as intended.
