Frequently Asked Questions
What dispensing systems is the PV-22005A compatible with?
The PV-22005A uses a standard luer lock connection, making it compatible with manual syringes (3cc, 5cc, 10cc, 30cc, 55cc), pneumatic air-powered dispensers, benchtop fluid dispensers, and automated or robotic dispensing systems. It fits any luer lock-equipped dispenser regardless of brand.
What materials can be dispensed through a 22 gauge stainless steel nozzle?
The 22 gauge size is suited for low to medium viscosity materials including UV-cure adhesives, cyanoacrylate, epoxy, solder paste, tacky flux, conformal coatings, encapsulants, thermal interface materials, conductive inks, and biocompatible medical adhesives. The stainless steel construction is compatible with aggressive solvents and chemical chemistries.
Can the PV-22005A be cleaned and reused?
Yes — stainless steel nozzles can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol (IPA), acetone, MEK, specialized flux removers, or ultrasonic cleaning. Proper cleaning after each use extends nozzle life and maintains consistent deposit performance. The nozzle can also be autoclaved for medical device applications requiring sterilization.
When should I choose 22 gauge over other gauge sizes?
Choose 22 gauge when dispensing low to medium viscosity materials onto small components (0201, 01005 SMT), creating micro-dots or fine lines, or when precise placement and minimal material waste are priorities. For higher viscosity materials or larger deposit volumes, a lower gauge (larger bore) nozzle would be more appropriate.
