Fluid Dispense Tips

S-Type Fluid Dispense Tips for Enhanced Fluid Control

S-Type Fluid Control Nozzles, also known as S-Type Fluid Dispene Tips, are engineered to optimize fluid flow and improve dispensing performance across a wide range of applications. These tips are ideal for high-precision dispensing tasks in electronics manufacturing, PCB assembly, and micro-dispensing environments.

Innovative Tapered Design for Superior Dispensing

The unique conical taper of S-Type dispensing tips significantly reduces back pressure along the fluid path. This design minimizes clogging, especially in high-viscosity materials, by eliminating the pressure buildup commonly seen in long, narrow tubes. The result is smoother, more consistent dispensing with improved repeatability and reduced downtime.

Benefits of S-Type Dispensing Tips

  • Universal Compatibility: Easily integrates with any Luer-style nozzle system for immediate performance enhancement.
  • Improved Flow Dynamics: Offers better fluid flow compared to standard luer nozzles, reducing resistance and enhancing throughput.
  • Enhanced Repeatability: Consistent dot sizes and placement for high-precision dispensing.
  • Reduced Material Wicking: Minimizes fluid migration along the nozzle exterior, improving deposit accuracy.
  • Compact Outer Diameter: Achieves the smallest possible outer diameter for a given inner diameter, ideal for tight spaces.
  • Increased Rigidity: Provides greater structural integrity for fine dispensing tasks.
  • Reusable Design: Can be cleaned and reused, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.
  • Custom Coatings Available: Specialized surface treatments available to meet unique process requirements.

Fluid Dispense Tip Sizing and Material Options

GPD Global offers a wide range of S-Type dispensing tip sizes, with inner diameters (I.D.) ranging from 0.002″ to 0.049″ and corresponding outer diameters (O.D.) optimized for minimal footprint. These tips are available in high-performance materials such as:

  • Phosphor Bronze with Electroless Nickel (PB with EN)
  • Nickel Silver with or without plating (NS with EN / NS)

Each tip is color-coded by gauge for easy identification and selection.

Outer Diameter Comparison

Compared to standard medical tubing, S-Type tips offer a significantly reduced outer diameter for the same gauge, allowing for more precise placement and reduced interference in compact assemblies.
