The Multicore No Clean Desoldering Wick is supplied on static‑dissipative plastic spools (1.5 m/5 ft) and packaged in colour‑coded, vacuum‑packed sleeves for easy identification. Five sizes are offered—NC‑MW (0.5 mm, orange), NC‑00 (0.8 mm, white), NC‑AA (1.5 mm, yellow), NC‑AB (2.2 mm, green) and NC‑BB (2.7 mm, blue)—all meeting DOD static‑discharge standards and MIL‑P‑28809A cleanliness requirements.
To use, lay the wick over the solder to be removed, place the soldering‑iron tip on the braid, and allow the solder to melt and be drawn into the copper braid by capillary action. The wick leaves negligible, non‑corrosive residues and requires no post‑process cleaning. Safety notes include heat‑shock protection, fume‑extraction recommendations, and handling precautions, while the product complies with Xersin 2005 halide‑free flux standards and relevant MIL specifications.
