CK DESOLDER WIRE, often manufactured by CK Kapoor, is a professional-grade desoldering wick designed for the
fast and clean removal of unwanted solder from circuit boards.
It is typically composed of finely braided 100% pure copper threads c
oated with RMA (Rosin Mildly Activated) flux.
Key Specifications
- Material: Made from high-purity, oxygen-free copper for superior heat conductivity.
- Length: Most common spools are 1 meter or 1.5 meters long.
- Flux Coating: Features an RMA-type flux that promotes rapid wicking and helps molten solder flow easily into the braid.
- Melting Range: Rated to function effectively within a temperature range of 90°C to 450°C.
Performance Features
- High Efficiency: According to technical descriptions on Sharvielectronics, CK wick contains more strands of copper per square inch than many competing brands, allowing for faster absorption.
- Safe for Precision Work: It is suitable for delicate tasks including PCB, BGA, PGA, and SMD reworking because it removes solder quickly, minimizing the risk of heat damage to sensitive components.
- Low Residue: Leaves behind an environmentally safe residue that generally does not require intensive cleaning after use.
