Chosen Solution
Hi guys looking to start up microsoldering I’ve watched videos etc brought myself a station etc. Just struggling to find what flux to use. I know no clean is best but don’t know which one to purchase? any help will be great thanks from previous experience .
I use “CHIPQUICK SMD291” Have been using it for years. Everyone has their favourite flux so you should try a couple of brands. I know a lot of people use “Amtech 559” Different fluxes burn away in different time spans so it comes down to soldering technique and how long you want the flux bubbling under the IC before it burns away.
Hi Iv got a decent amount of soldering experience and from what I know is that most flux do the same thing you just need to get it from a reputable source because there are lots of knock offs But from experience I would recommend something from amtech or chip quick (most people use these) But don’t feel like it had to be one or the other because they all do a very similar job Hopefully this answers your question Thanks:-)
I also use Chipquick SMD291NL flux as shown in the picture on the following webpage: I purchase it on Digikey.
