Techcon Fan Air Cap Assembly, 0.014 Inch Orifice

Description

The Techcon Fan Air Cap Assembly produces a 0.014 in (0.356 mm) fan spray pattern on TS5540 spray valves, a fine-coverage dispensing valve parts upgrade for conformal coating, light lubrication, and thin sealant passes where an even, wide swath beats a round cone pattern.

Where this dispensing valve parts assembly is used

The TS5540 spray valve platform ships with interchangeable cone and fan nozzle outlets at 0.014, 0.028, and 0.046 in orifice sizes, and the fan pattern spreads fluid across a wider strip per pass than the equivalent cone orifice. Electronics assemblers running conformal coating over populated boards favor the 0.014 in fan for its tight, even deposit at low flow, since a coarser orifice at the same pressure setting tends to pool at the edges of small components. The fan geometry also cuts cycle time on flat, open surfaces where a cone pattern would need multiple overlapping passes to reach full coverage.

Specs

• Orifice diameter: 0.014 in (0.356 mm), fan pattern
• Valve compatibility: Techcon TS5540 spray valve series
• Format: complete air cap assembly, ready to install
• Max fluid pressure: rated to the valve’s 100 psi (6.9 bar) system limit
• Activation pressure: 70 psi (4.8 bar) minimum, per TS5540 spec
• Recommended fluid viscosity: 1 to 1,000 cps

Ordering these dispensing valve parts

Stock this assembly alongside the 0.028 and 0.046 in fan options so a line changeover between coating weights does not wait on a single part. The fan and cone patterns are not interchangeable at the same orifice size, so confirm which pattern the current nozzle outlet kit uses before ordering a replacement, and inspect the spray footprint periodically since a fan cap that starts throwing an uneven or streaked pattern usually means the orifice edge has worn.
