Soder-Wick lead-free is the state of the art in desoldering technology. It is specially designed for removal of today's high temperature lead-free solders. The single layer weave used for Soder-Wick lead free braid is lighter in mass than any other desoldering braid available and allows for lead-free solder removal at lower temperatures. - Soder-Wicklead-free responds faster than any other conventional desoldering braid. This unique design minimizes overheating and requires less "contact" time thus preventing heat damage to the PCB and sensitive components.
