Weller KDS181P Dispensing Needle 18 Gauge Pack of 50

Product Description

The WELLER KDS181P is an 18-gauge stainless steel dispensing needle designed for precision soldering and fluid-dispensing applications. With an inside diameter of 0.038 inches and an outside diameter of 0.05 inches, this needle delivers controlled material flow in tight or detail-sensitive work areas. The pink color-coding makes gauge identification fast on a busy bench or in a kit with multiple needle sizes. At 1 inch in length and weighing just 0.03 pounds per unit, it is a lightweight, single-use or limited-use consumable suited to electronics assembly, rework stations, and PCB repair work.

This dispensing needle is used in soldering stations and fluid-dispensing setups where precise tip placement is required. Common applications include flux dispensing, solder paste application, adhesive placement, and other controlled-volume material delivery tasks in electronics manufacturing and rework environments. It is well-suited for benchtop assembly technicians, electronics repair shops, and production line operators who need repeatable, accurate dispensing from a compatible syringe or dispensing system. This product is sold in a package quantity of 50 needles.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement dispensing needle for use with compatible soldering and fluid-dispensing syringe systems that accept standard luer-lock or push-on 18-gauge needle hubs.

Installation Notes

Dispensing needles are installed and serviced by electronics assembly technicians and bench-level repair professionals. Ensure the dispensing syringe or applicator is depressurized and empty before swapping needle tips to avoid uncontrolled fluid release. Dispose of used needles in accordance with applicable sharps and chemical waste guidelines for your facility. Do not attempt to clean and reuse needles with corrosive flux residues, as clogging or material contamination can affect dispense accuracy.
