Weller KDS22TNP Dispensing Needle 22 Gauge 0.017 in Id 50 Pack

Product Description

The WELLER KDS22TNP is a tapered tip dispensing needle designed for precise flux, adhesive, and solder paste application in soldering and electronics assembly work. Sized at 22 gauge with an inside diameter of 0.017 inches, this needle delivers controlled, repeatable deposits with minimal waste. The tapered tip geometry helps direct material flow to tight target areas on PCBs and component pads. Each needle measures 1.5 inches in overall length with a tip length of 1.25 inches. Constructed from plastic and color-coded blue for easy gauge identification, the KDS22TNP is used by electronics technicians, PCB assembly operators, and bench-level repair professionals.

This dispensing needle is suited for benchtop soldering stations and dispensing systems where controlled application of low-viscosity to medium-viscosity fluids is required. Typical applications include flux deposition before hand soldering, solder paste application in rework scenarios, and adhesive placement in SMT assembly. The 22 gauge size is a common choice when working with small component footprints and tight pad spacing. This product is sold in a pack of 50 needles, making it practical for production environments and service shops that cycle through tips regularly.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement dispensing needle for use with standard luer-lock style dispensing syringes and dispensing tool handles compatible with 22 gauge tapered tip needles.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electronics technicians and PCB assembly professionals. Attach the needle to a compatible luer-lock dispensing syringe or tool body by threading securely before applying pressure. Ensure the syringe contains the correct fluid viscosity for 22 gauge tip flow. Dispose of used needles according to applicable workplace safety and hazardous waste guidelines for flux and chemical-containing consumables.
