Custom Selective Soldering Nozzles: Manufacturing by Drawing or Sample

When standard nozzle sizes cannot meet your specific PCB layout or production requirements, custom selective soldering nozzles provide an exact solution. This guide explains how to order custom nozzles from drawings, samples, or dimensions.

Key Takeaways

**Four ordering methods available** — drawings, sample, dimensions, or application description

**1-2 day quotation turnaround** — for standard custom orders

**5-10 day production** — after drawing confirmation

**All major brands supported** — Ersa, Pillarhouse, Nordson/ACE, SEHO, KOKI

**Quality inspection on every order** — dimensions verified against confirmed drawing

When You Need a Custom Nozzle

Custom nozzles are the right choice when:

Your PCB layout requires a non-standard ID/AD combination not available in our 118 standard configurations

Component density requires a special nozzle shape or cross configuration

Your fixture design requires a specific height not available in standard options

You need a nozzle for an older machine with discontinued standard parts

Your application requires special features such as angled tips or extended channels

Many production lines encounter situations where the standard catalog does not cover their exact needs. Custom manufacturing ensures you get a nozzle that matches your requirements precisely, without compromise.

How to Order a Custom Nozzle

Option 1: Provide Engineering Drawings

Send us your nozzle drawing including:

ID and AD dimensions with tolerances

Total height (H value) from base seating surface to tip

Base/solder pot type and thread specifications

Material requirements (standard wettable alloy or special material)

Any special features or modifications

This is the most precise method and produces the fastest, most accurate results.

Option 2: Send a Sample or Old Nozzle

Mail us your old nozzle or a sample for reverse engineering:

We measure all dimensions precisely using calibrated instruments

We verify the base type and thread pattern

We confirm the material composition

We produce a compatible replacement with identical specifications

We return your original sample if requested

Option 3: Provide Dimensions from Measurement

If you cannot send a physical sample, provide:

ID and AD measured with calipers (±0.1mm accuracy)

Height from solder pot seating surface to nozzle tip

Base diameter and thread type

Photos of the nozzle from multiple angles (top, side, bottom)

Your machine model and solder pot type

Option 4: Describe Your Application

Tell us:

The PCB layout and pad dimensions you need to solder

Component spacing and clearance requirements

Your machine model

Desired solder contact area width

We can design a nozzle configuration that matches your application.

Quality Assurance

The agreed custom-nozzle inspection scope can include:

Dimensional verification against the confirmed drawing

ID/AD measurement with calibrated gauges

Height verification from base to tip

Base thread pattern and seating surface inspection

Visual inspection for surface quality and finish

Cost Considerations

Custom nozzle pricing depends on:

Complexity of the design (standard shape vs. special features)

Quantity ordered (larger orders = lower per-unit cost)

Material specifications

Required tolerances

MOQ starts at 1 piece for custom orders. Contact us for a quotation specific to your requirements.
