Dymax T20010 Micro-Dot Hand-Held Manual Syringe Dispenser
Dymax T20010 Micro-Dot™ — Hand-Held Manual Syringe Dispenser
The Dymax T20010 Micro-Dot™ is a hand-held, thumb-actuated manual syringe dispenser engineered for controlled, repeatable micro-dot dispensing of UV-cure adhesives, cyanoacrylates, epoxies, silicones, and other low-to-medium viscosity fluids. It requires no compressed air or power source, making it portable and ideal for flexible bench setups, field repair, R&D, and small-batch production. The adjustable plunger stroke delivers consistent dot sizes from 0.5 mm to 3 mm and accepts standard Luer-lock syringes in 3cc, 5cc, 10cc, and 30cc sizes. Sold individually.
Sold individually. Syringes and dispensing tips sold separately.

Key Features
- No air or power required — fully manual thumb-actuated operation; portable and usable anywhere without compressed air infrastructure or electrical supply
- Adjustable dot size (0.5–3 mm) — dial-in consistent deposit sizes before production runs to reduce variation and material waste
- Universal Luer-lock compatibility — accepts standard 3cc, 5cc, 10cc, and 30cc syringes; works with a wide range of dispensing tips and needle gauges
- Broad fluid compatibility — handles UV-cure adhesives, cyanoacrylates, epoxies, silicones, solvents, and lubricants up to 50,000 cps
- Compact and ergonomic — lightweight hand-held design reduces operator fatigue during extended dispensing tasks
- Low cost of entry — no capital investment in pneumatic or electronic dispensing equipment; ideal for low-volume production, lab, and rework applications
Industries & Applications
- Electronics assembly — UV adhesive bonding, conformal coating spot application, and encapsulant dispensing on PCBs and electronic components
- Medical device manufacturing — precision adhesive dispensing for device assembly, catheter tipping, and sensor bonding
- R&D and prototyping — flexible manual dispensing for adhesive development, process testing, and small-batch builds
- Optical assembly — micro-dot UV adhesive application for lens bonding, fiber optic assembly, and optical component manufacturing

- General industrial bonding — cyanoacrylate, epoxy, and silicone dispensing in assembly and maintenance operations
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the T20010 require compressed air or a power source?
No — the T20010 is a fully manual, thumb-actuated dispenser. No compressor, air lines, or power supply are needed. This makes it portable and practical for bench setups without dedicated air infrastructure, field repair environments, and R&D labs where flexibility matters more than throughput.
What syringe sizes and tip types are compatible?
The T20010 accepts all standard Luer-lock syringes in 3cc, 5cc, 10cc, and 30cc sizes. Dispensing tips and needles (18–30 gauge) are sold separately. Dymax free-flow taper tips (T18-125-TT-50 and T20-125-TT-50) are compatible and recommended for UV adhesive dispensing applications.
How do I control the dot size?
The adjustable plunger stroke lets operators dial in consistent dot sizes from 0.5 mm to 3 mm. Setting the stroke before a production run reduces variation and material waste. For very fine deposits below 0.5 mm, a pneumatic dispenser like the Dymax SD-200 with a high-gauge tip will provide more precise control.
Is the T20010 suitable for UV-cure adhesive dispensing?
Yes — the T20010 is widely used with Dymax UV-cure adhesives and other light-curable materials. When dispensing UV adhesives, pair it with UV-light block taper tips (such as the Dymax T18 or T20 series) to prevent premature curing of the fluid inside the tip during dispensing. The T20010 handles fluids up to 50,000 cps, covering most UV adhesive and epoxy formulations used in electronics assembly and medical device manufacturing.
When should I choose the T20010 vs. a powered dispenser like the Dymax SD-200?
Choose the T20010 for low-volume production, R&D, rework, field repair, or applications where compressed air is unavailable. Choose the Dymax SD-200 (or similar pneumatic/electric dispenser) for higher-volume production requiring tighter deposit repeatability, finer dot sizes below 0.5 mm, or time-pressure dispensing with consistent cycle times. Both are available at MTE Solutions.
