Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 260A-R used for?
A: It is designed for applying epoxies, lubricants, and adhesives in very small, controlled amounts into tight or hard-to-reach spaces in electronics assembly and lab environments.
Q: What does the radius tip (.008") mean?
A: The radius tip has a rounded profile rather than a flat or pointed end, which helps with smooth material transfer and reduces the risk of scratching delicate surfaces.
Q: Is the 260A-R ESD safe?
A: The 260A-R is cleanroom safe but is not specifically rated as ESD safe. For ESD-sensitive applications, consider the 260AA-ESD variant.
Q: Is this spatula cleanroom compatible?
A: Yes. The 260A-R is designed to be cleanroom safe for use in controlled-environment assembly and laboratory applications.
Q: What tip material is used?
A: The tip is made of AISI 1075 carbon steel, providing durability and consistent performance for precision material placement.
