azonenberg: any idea what "BK-223-A" flux could be composed of?
<whitequark>
it's some fairly generic chinese SMT flux, seems to work well for the work I'm doing where good old RMA doesn't cut it
<whitequark>
i'm curious because it's allegedly rosin-based, but it really doesn't look like that; it's very white, has no odor, a very low viscosity paste consistency, and most interestingly, it smells faintly like a paraffin candle when i heat it up
<whitequark>
by "very white" i mean it's transparent in thin layers, milky white in the syringe, and has absolutely no color tint whatsoever
<tnt>
amtech NC-559-V2 is also "rosin based" according to specs and same white/transparent and different odors from the classic 'orangy' flux I used before.
<whitequark>
iinteresting
<whitequark>
amtech rma-223 which i assume this is trying to clone is def rather orangy
<whitequark>
tnt: actually mine looks a lot like amtech nc-559-asm
<tnt>
I'm not entirely sure of the difference between the two ...
<whitequark>
i wonder what the "tackifier" is
<tnt>
Is the clone also 'uv traceable' ? (not super useful but quite fun to see spots you missed :)
<whitequark>
i don't think it's supposed to be
<whitequark>
it just has very similar look
<whitequark>
but lemme grab an UV light
<whitequark>
zero fluorescence
<tnt>
Something I've been wondering when shopping around amtech's website is why the NC-559-V2 for instance is not rated "lead-free". I thought it might be temperature, but it is rated for some non-lead-free alloy that have higher temps than sac305 so ...
<whitequark>
my syringe of flux actually says "may contain lead"
<whitequark>
which makes no sense
