ABSTRACT:
A desoldering wick is made from an elongated strip of woven wire mesh slit from a sheet of woven fabric. The wire mesh is folded longitudinally for forming a ribbon having a width less than the width of the strip and having multiple thicknesses of wire mesh with a plurality of spaces between adjacent layers of mesh. The surface of the wire mesh is wettable by molten solder and may be coated with a solder flux for enhancing wetting. A variety of embodiments have folded woven fabric to make three or more thicknesses of wire mesh and are folded so that both slit edges of the strip are inside of the ribbon. Large area desoldering wicks are in the form a pad with a flat face and at least one edge folded approximately normal to the flat face. A ribbon desoldering wick is mounted in an insulating tube for faciltating holding the wick.
