Optimum dispensing needle orange straight 23 GA, 0.33 mm ID, 1 inch - Nordson EFD 7018305

Placing adhesive, grease or solder paste in the milligram range comes down to the inner diameter of the needle. This Optimum general purpose needle works with a 0.33 mm bore and lays an even bead without running on at the outlet.

Benefits in use

• Inner diameter 0.33 mm at an outer diameter of only 0.65 mm, so the capillary fits between components that are already placed.
• Capillary of burr-free, polished and passivated stainless steel, which stops the material tearing off at the outlet.
• Capillary length 1 inch, equal to 25.4 mm, reaching joints that sit deeper inside a housing.
• Straight tip shape for vertical application, the bead is not deflected sideways.
• Polypropylene hub with Luer lock thread, the orange colour is the industry code for gauge 23.
• The colour code on the hub makes the correct needle size recognisable at a glance on the bench.

Applications

Electronics manufacturing and rework, bonding and potting in precision engineering, application of grease, oil, solder paste, flux and low to medium viscosity adhesives at manual dispensing stations and on automated dispensers.

Compatibility

The Luer lock hub fits dispensing barrels and dispensing valves with a Luer lock outlet. The needle belongs to the Optimum range, which offers the same capillary in further lengths and gauges.

Standards and compliance

The manufacturer property table does not list this needle as ESD safe. For work on ESD sensitive assemblies the black conductive versions of the range are the better choice.
