Chemtronics 50-6-25 Solder Wick Standard Spool 25 Feet

Product Description

The CHEMTRONICS 50-6-25 is a copper solder wick supplied on a standard spool with 25 feet of desoldering braid. The wick measures 0.21 inches in width and is constructed from copper strands designed to absorb molten solder through capillary action. Technicians use it to remove excess solder from circuit board pads, component leads, and through-hole joints during rework and repair operations. At 0.4 pounds per spool, it is a lightweight bench consumable suited for electronics repair shops, field service kits, and production rework stations.

This solder wick is used in electronics assembly, PCB rework, and component replacement tasks. It is appropriate for both residential and commercial electronics service environments. Licensed electricians, electronics technicians, and HVAC controls specialists working on circuit boards will find the 25-foot spool length sufficient for extended rework sessions without frequent spool changes.

Key Features

• Copper construction for efficient heat transfer and solder absorption
• 0.21-inch braid width suitable for medium-pitch component pads and leads
• 25-foot spool length reduces changeover frequency during rework
• Standard spool format compatible with common solder wick dispensers
• Lightweight at 0.4 pounds for easy bench or field kit storage

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement solder wick spool for general electronics rework and desoldering applications across a wide range of PCB assemblies and component types.

Installation Notes

Power down and de-energize all equipment before performing any desoldering work on circuit boards. Use a calibrated soldering iron at the appropriate tip temperature for the solder alloy being removed, and apply the wick flat against the joint to maximize contact. Avoid prolonged tip contact with the braid to prevent pad lift on sensitive PCBs. Dispose of used wick segments in accordance with local waste regulations, as they will contain lead if used on lead-based solder.
