The package includes ONE adapter with a tube and a 10 ml syringe. The tip can work on Epson's black grommet directly. The adapter is designed to have an angle with the syringe connection to fit the syringe into tight situations.
To use:
Position the printhead at the center of the printer. Power on the printer, and as the printhead begins to move, quickly disconnect the power. Ensure the printhead can move freely. Slide paper towels beneath the printhead to catch any excess ink.
1. Fill a small bowl with distilled water. Using the syringe, draw up 5 ml of this water.
2. Align the adapter with the ink oval-shaped intake on the printhead. Ensure they match precisely. Press down gently on the adapter, ensuring an airtight seal forms.
3. Use the syringe to draw up, avoiding pushing down. This action helps extract any obstructions from the printhead rather than pushing them deeper inside. Continuously check the seal's integrity. Practice until you're confident in creating a secure seal.
4. Dispose of the contaminated water. Refill the syringe with fresh water and repeat the above steps. This practice will help perfect your sealing technique.
5. Draw 2 ml of cleaning solution into the syringe.
6. Secure the adapter to create an airtight seal. Slowly press the syringe, introducing the cleaning solution into the printhead. Monitor the seal to ensure no solution leaks. Apply gentle pressure; if excessive force is required, it's indicative of a severely clogged printhead. Over-pressuring can damage the printhead's internal membrane, leading to permanent damage.
7. Continue the cleaning process until the liquid flows smoothly. If the printhead was removed for this procedure, you should witness ink ejecting without resistance. While the cleaning solution will help soften blockages, it won't completely dissolve them. Therefore, give enough time (5-12 hours) between the cleaning. It's crucial to proceed with caution and patience to effectively clear the printhead without causing harm.
8. Execute the printer's internal cleaning cycles until the nozzle check yields flawless results. This function draws ink into the printhead, displacing the cleaning solution.

Transistor Pair C6144 (2SC6144) and A2222 (2SA2222) for Epson EcoTank & WorkForce WF-2630
The main board works again! Prior to purchasing the main board, my Epson WF-3640 would give the 0x9a error code, which I deduced was due to a short-circuited clogged printhead, that blew out the fuse on the main board. Disassembling the printer, I had checked the main board fuse with a multimeter and sure enough, it was blown. So, I chose to buy a main board from BCH, as I was sure I could not fix the fuse itself. I also bought some new cables for the print head/main board as one of them looked burnt where it was inserted in the print head. I purchased a used printhead elsewhere, though, as BCH didn't seem to have one in stock. After installation, the printer worked again, though the used printhead--again purchased elsewhere--was clogged. I can't blame that on BCH, which is why I stress that I purchased the printhead elsewhere. Nevertheless, everything from BCH worked perfectly. It may work too perfectly, for when I initially powered up the unit without ink cartridges, I didn't get any error message saying to install cartridges. I don't know why that is. It could be just the way the WF-3640 works and I had never noticed it before, but once everything was installed, it merely said the nozzle and/or printhead was clogged and asked me to run a cleaning. All in all, I am very satisfied and would purchase from BCH again should I have the need to do so. Lastly, the YouTube videos and BCH website instructions were spot on! I had initially wired back the mainboard incorrectly but I re-watched the video and found my error before I powered up the unit. My only regret is that I accidentally may have left the "Anonymous Anonymous" review below without adding text, which I have remedied with this comment.
