Example Use Scenario
The MG Chemicals 427 SUPERWICK is ideal for desoldering larger components from PCBs. For instance, when replacing a large through-hole component such as a power transistor, the SUPERWICK effectively removes the excess solder, allowing for clean and precise installation of the new component. This braid is particularly useful in applications involving sensitive electronic components, ensuring that no static electricity is introduced during the desoldering process.
How to Use MG Chemicals 427 SUPERWICK
-
Preparation:
- Ensure the work area is clean and well-lit.
- Secure the PCB or component to prevent movement during the desoldering process.
-
Application:
- Select the appropriate size of SUPERWICK for the job.
- Place the end of the braid over the solder joint to be desoldered.
-
Heating:
- Heat your soldering iron to the appropriate temperature.
- Place the soldering iron tip on top of the braid, directly over the solder joint.
- Allow the heat to transfer through the braid to the solder, which will then be wicked up into the braid.
-
Removal:
- Once the solder has been absorbed, remove the braid and soldering iron from the joint.
- Cut off and discard the used section of the braid.
-
Cleaning:
- Inspect the area to ensure all solder has been removed.
- If necessary, repeat the process with a fresh section of braid until the joint is clean.
