Product Name
Jensen Industrial Dispensing Tips (Push-On & Luer-Lock) Family - Steel 1/2-Inch Yellow 20-Gauge
Brief Description
These are precision industrial dispensing tips constructed from 304 stainless steel with a polypropylene Luer-Lock hub, designed for accurate and controlled application of various industrial fluids. Featuring both push-on and Luer-Lock connection mechanisms, they are 1/2-inch long with a 20-gauge diameter, color-coded yellow, and are specifically intended for industrial use, not medical purposes.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Precise application of adhesives, glues, epoxies, and sealants in assembly processes.- Dispensing solder pastes in electronics manufacturing and PCB rework.- Controlled dispensing of solvents, inks, oils, lubricants, and chemicals.- Use with manual, pneumatic, or automated dispensing systems and robots.- Microdot application of low viscosity fluids.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Artist, Artisan- Automotive Service/Repair (for manufacturing/assembly)- Chemical Industry- Distributers & Resellers- General Manufacturing- Government & Military- LED/Electronics- Metal Fabrication- Packaging Services or Contractor- Plastic Fabrication- Prosumer (for advanced hobbyists/artisans)- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle (manufacturing/assembly)
Special and Unique Features
- Dual compatibility: Features both Push-On and Luer-Lock mechanisms for versatile attachment to various dispensing equipment.- Industrial grade: Engineered for robust industrial environments, safe for use up to 100 psi air pressures.- Color-coded: The yellow hub signifies a 20-gauge tip, adhering to international standards for easy identification.- Burr-free and electro-polished: The stainless steel cannula ensures unobstructed and consistent material flow, preventing clogs and inconsistencies.- Silicone-free: Prevents contamination of sensitive adhesives and fluids during dispensing.- Broad compatibility: Works with popular industry-standard dispensing equipment from brands like Nordson, Nordson EFD, Sulzer, MixPac, Techon, and PVA.
Key Properties
- Material: 304 Stainless Steel cannula with a polypropylene (PP) Luer Lock hub.- Gauge: 20-Gauge (Yellow color coding).- Length: 1/2-inch (12.7mm).- Connection Type: Push-On & Luer-Lock.- Tip Design: Blunt.- Application: Industrial use only, non-sterile.
Surface Compatibility
- Designed for precise application onto a wide range of industrial substrates.- Stainless steel construction ensures resistance to corrosion and non-reactivity with most dispensed materials.- Suitable for various surface textures, including rougher surfaces where strong adhesion of thick pastes is critical.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other gauge sizes of dispensing tips (e.g., 14, 16, 18, 22, 25 gauge) can be used depending on the fluid viscosity and desired flow rate.- Tapered dispensing tips are suitable for high-viscosity fluids, epoxies, silicones, and solder pastes to minimize back pressure and clogging.- Flexible dispensing tips (e.g., PTFE or polypropylene) are ideal for scratch-free applications or reaching problematic areas, particularly with cyanoacrylates and anaerobics to prevent clogging.- Brush dispensing tips are available for spreading low-viscosity materials such as lubricants, activators, and solvents.- Angled dispensing tips provide access to hard-to-reach application points.
Comparison Note
- The 20-gauge tip offers a 0.5mm opening, providing a balance between flow rate and precision, making it ideal for controlled application of thinner to medium-viscosity materials.- Compared to smaller gauges, this 20-gauge tip allows for a larger opening, which helps reduce back pressure for certain fluids. Conversely, it offers finer control than larger gauges.- Its robust stainless steel cannula and secure Luer-Lock hub provide superior durability, chemical resistance, and a leak-free connection, distinguishing it from less durable plastic-only alternatives.
