Weller KDS18TNP Dispensing Needle 18 Gauge 0.034 in Id 50 Pack

Product Description

The WELLER KDS18TNP is an 18-gauge tapered tip dispensing needle designed for precision solder paste and flux dispensing in electronics assembly and repair applications. The needle features a 0.034-inch inside diameter and a 1.25-inch tip length, providing controlled material flow in tight or confined areas on circuit boards and component leads. Constructed from plastic with a green color coding that corresponds to the 18-gauge standard, this dispensing needle is a consumable tool used by electronics technicians, PCB assembly professionals, and skilled tradespeople who require consistent, repeatable dispensing performance. Each package contains 50 needles.

This dispensing needle is suited for bench-top soldering stations and handheld syringe dispensers used in residential, commercial, and industrial electronics assembly environments. Common applications include applying solder paste, flux, adhesives, or other low-viscosity materials to PCB pads and through-hole component leads. The tapered tip profile allows access to densely populated boards where space between components is limited. Technicians working in HVAC control board repair, electrical panel assembly, or general electronics maintenance will find this needle appropriate for fine-detail dispensing tasks.

Key Features

• 18-gauge bore with 0.034-inch inside diameter for controlled, precise dispensing
• 1.25-inch tapered tip length for access to confined component areas
• Green color coding identifies 18-gauge size at a glance
• Plastic construction is compatible with standard luer-lock syringe dispensers
• Pack of 50 needles supports continuous workflow without interruption

Compatibility

Designed as a standard luer-lock style dispensing needle compatible with syringe-based dispensing tools commonly used for solder paste, flux, and adhesive application in electronics assembly.

Installation Notes

Dispensing needles are installed and replaced by electronics technicians and assembly professionals as part of routine dispensing tool maintenance. Attach the needle securely to a luer-lock compatible syringe dispenser before use and confirm a snug fit to prevent material leakage. Dispose of used needles according to applicable workplace safety guidelines for sharps or contaminated materials. Do not attempt to clean and reuse needles that have become clogged, as forced clearing can alter tip geometry and dispensing consistency.
