This was a great test. Thank you. I will also try to get the solder you used. So helpful with the links you share 👍🏻
I'm happy to help!
The real problem with fake Amtech fluxes is possibly dangerous chemicals in flux and lower ability to prevent unwanted solder bridges. The first is not a big deal if workspace have proper ventilation. The second however make QFP, BGA and tiny connector soldering really hard. Discovered that in hard way my myself several times. For larger component soldering and desoldering in general those fake Amtech fluxes works just fine.
Thank you for the video. It has been quite interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ElectronicsComputers Oh yes I learn even more in detail what I "thought" I knew already.
I've been using some cheap liquid flux i got on ebay for $10 for 2 bottles for awhile now.that crap smokes like a train and it always runs away from my iron. Picked up some genuine amtech 599 for $19 and omg i can drag solder now.what a frecking difference.it actually stays put aswell.
Yep, Amtech makes the best flux.
Same here I bought a pack of 8 amtech rma223 for 20 a couple years back seemed to good to be true
Flux is basically a gel that corrodes top layer of metal. Top layer is usually where the corrosion resides. The gel should solidify in open air to prevent slow corrosion. In my experience, the better quality flux solidifies better. Cheap flux uses some kind of oil base which never solidifies in open air. But both perform just about the same. Make sure you clean the PCB with thinner(kerosene, mineral oil or petrol) if using cheap flux.
Thank you for the video and the links
You're welcome!
It's strange, I just bought a 559 AMS 30cc from a local store that claims that is the official distributor of Amtech flux here in my country. It seems I received the OG flux (didn't test it yet but colour seems the same), but also there're differences in packaging. Volume quantity is wrote by hand, I didn't received a card and neither the needle, only some kind of plastic needle with pen shape. Also the syringe is already armed and there's no orange cover, obviously. It's like they make the packaging, maybe due they get the flux in big containers (if the flux I bought is legit..).
There's only ASM model not AMS. Original Amtech flux comes only in syringes like in my video.
👌 best flux paste video thanks 😊 🙏
Most welcome 😊
Thiếc xịn quá
I been using 223 fake stuff and I kinda thought it was fake but I didn’t know. Makes sense now. Well I’ll be buying quality stuff now
Most likely you didn't needed to solder really small components. Fried some traces and broke few MicroUSB connectors in past due to inability of fake RMA-223 to prevent solder bridges in short distance. For large traces and components with gaps large enough fake stuff usually works fine. Though it smoke like coal chimney.
Thanks Alot!
You're welcome!
How many degrees do you use it in the soldering gun?
It depends on the components but typically it's 300-35 or 400C for big components like electrolytic capacitors or something like that.
@@ElectronicsComputers I buy the amtech flux and honestly I don't like it I trying to solder some cables for my lipo batteries and nhaaaa
Didnt have performance issue with specific china flux i got, but problem is fumes are so bad my eyes burn for days. Dont want to be buying everything untill i find something that works. Does amtech smell less?
They all produce fumes, including the original Amtech flux. I wouldn't use it without a fume extractor. I use Amtech only for the chips; for the rest of the components, I use natural rosin flux to minimize exposure to harmful chemicals.
@@ElectronicsComputersThank you. I do have very good fume extractor that dumps the air outside but of course you cant catch it all esp when working with hot air that blows it off the board
It really sounded like you would be tasting the flux which is a really bad idea 😅 anyway great video!
Thanks! 😁
I had the "disaster" one.
Kalo buat nyolder tembagaa rambut kabel roland atau nyolder kabel carger ponsel aman ga flux amtech bisa ga
Don't use for cables that flux. You can use just a regular rosin flux like this amzn.to/3AkytCj
Hello. Send link for original . Please good price . Thanks
The Amazon's link in the description box below the video as well as other links. I can't put them in this message because KZhead blocks all the links and marks them as a spam.
Is it impossible, to buy genuine amtech flux on AliExpress or ebay?
You can find the genuine product on Ebay just buy it from sellers with good feedback. Amazon links in the description.
@@ElectronicsComputers It doesn't seem like this is a safe method. There are a lot of off-the-shelf "RMA-223" from Ebay sellers with high ratings. These are the only two on a price comparison site: www.ebay.com/itm/221720475929 www.ebay.com/itm/282421548559 99.6% and 99.7% And look these yellow flux with 99.5%: www.ebay.com/itm/162878781101 Or 99.6%: www.ebay.com/itm/332194555961 Etc.. This is the first listing (sorted by price) where the paste is not yellow in the photo: www.ebay.de/itm/360635476138 Can't get a bigger amount for a better price? Or another product from another manufacturer, which is also very high quality.
you choose the worst amtech copy i bought one cheap and no diference im telling you for 1/5 of the price totaly worth it, course this was reache after trying from diferent sources so the one i buy now its the same the guy claims to be original ive bought one from amtech website and its the same but just more expenssive.
can u give link for guy claims to be original ?
Use the google drive links in the description box below the video. The website with ads will redirect you to my cloud, just follow its instructions (you'll need to watch commercial video). It's totally FREE!
Flux is Flux no matter how different the brands are. 😊
You're right, they all do the same thing, but still, some do it better, some produce more fumes than others, and some are way easier to clean than others, etc.
So, Amtech flux doesn't smell like a pine anymore?
I think that depends on the type of the Amtech flux.
It may or may not smell acorrding to batch from which your flux come. Which depends from are content of your syringe is made by Inventec or Amtech themselwes. This guy have detailed info about differences between original NC-559 flux branches: kzhead.info/sun/fKtxj7J5h2looo0/bejne.html
so there really isnt much of a difference? aliexpress it is :D
Both do what have to, but Amtech is cleaner.
@@ElectronicsComputers thx for info and good review
Not much until your task goes down to QFP, BGA and tiny connectors. Expect sudden solder bridges, cold solderings under BGA and component/PCB failures while trying to clean exccess solder off :)
