YAMAHA NOZZLE
The English part number (part number) for YAMAHA SMT nozzles is a complete system; there’s no single, standardized part number. Different series, sizes, and functions all have unique part numbers.
Below, I’ll detail the YAMAHA SMT nozzle part numbering rules, common models, and how to find and confirm the specific part number you need.
1. Basic Structure of YAMAHA Nozzle Part Numbers
YAMAHA nozzle part numbers typically follow a specific naming convention and consist of the following components:
Series code + Nozzle type code + Size/Feature code
For example, a typical part number might be: KGD-0750Q-M
KGD: Represents the nozzle series or material (for example, this series typically refers to precision nozzles with white rubber rings).
0750: Represents the nozzle’s aperture, which is 0.75mm in this case. Sometimes, metric sizes, such as 140 and 230, are used.
Q: Indicates a special feature or shape of the nozzle (for example, Q may represent a slotted anti-stick material).
-M: May indicate packaging method or other variations.
II. Common Nozzle Series and Corresponding English Part Number Examples
The following are some very common nozzle types and part numbers used in YAMAHA YS, YG, and YSM series placement machines:
1. Standard Precision Nozzle (with White Rubber Ring)
This is the most commonly used series, used for picking standard chip components (resistors, capacitors), SOPs, QFPs, etc.
100 (1.0mm): KGD-1000Q-M
140 (1.4mm): KGD-1400Q-M
230 (2.3mm): KGD-2300Q-M
400 (4.0mm): KGD-4000Q-M
750 (7.5mm): KGD-7500Q-M
065 (0.65mm): KGD-0650Q-M (for small components such as 0201/01005)
2. Flat Nozzle
For picking up components with low profiles, such as adhesive-backed components and connectors.
100F: KFD-1000Q-M
140F: KFD-1400Q-M
230F: KFD-2300Q-M
3. Special-Shaped/Special Nozzles
Nozzle for cylindrical components (MELF):
KLB-1400Q-M
Nozzle for heavy-load components such as connectors and shields:
KHD-4000Q-M (4.0mm)
Nozzle for BGAs (flat tip, no rubber ring):
KSD-1400Q-M (1.4mm)
KSD-2300Q-M (2.3mm)
Nozzle for soft components (such as rubber pads) (with multiple holes):
KMD-2300Q-M
3. How do I accurately find the nozzle part number I need? The most reliable method is as follows:
Check the original nozzle on the equipment.
Remove the nozzle you want to verify from the feeder or nozzle station. The full part number is usually laser-engraved on the side or bottom of the nozzle. This is the most direct and accurate method.
Check the parts list of the placement machine.
Every Yamaha machine comes with a detailed parts manual (Parts List) upon shipment. You can find all officially approved nozzle part numbers in this manual.
Use the official Yamaha software (P-TOOL).
In Yamaha’s programming software, P-TOOL, you can select the nozzle model in the component library or nozzle library management. The software will display the corresponding full part number.
Consult the supplier.
Inform Yamaha or its authorized distributor of your machine model (e.g., YSM10, YSM20, YS12, etc.) and the component size you need to pick up (e.g., 0402, 0.4mm pitch QFP, 3x3mm BGA, etc.). They will provide the correct part number.
IV. Important Notes
Compatibility Issues: The nozzle stem diameters of Yamaha machines from different generations (such as the older YV series and the modern YSM series) may vary. While the nozzle tips may be the same, the mounting parts may not be compatible. Be sure to confirm the compatible machine model when purchasing.
Aftermarket Nozzles: There are many third-party (aftermarket) nozzles on the market. Their part numbers may differ from the original manufacturer’s, but they will be marked as compatible with the original manufacturer’s part number. Please verify carefully when purchasing.
Part Number Updates: Yamaha updates its products from time to time, and part numbers may vary slightly. Please refer to the latest official information for accuracy.
Summary
Nozzle Type Typical Dimensions Example English Part Number Main Application
Standard Precision Nozzles 065, 100, 140, 230 KGD-0650Q-M, KGD-1400Q-M Standard components such as resistors, capacitors, and ICs
Flat Nozzles 100F, 140F KFD-1000Q-M Low-profile components
BGA Nozzles 140, 230 KSD-1400Q-M Ball Grid Array (BGA) components such as BGA and CSP
Heavy-Duty Nozzles 400, 750 KHD-4000Q-M Heavier components such as connectors and shields
Cylindrical Nozzles 140 KLB-1400Q-M Cylindrical components such as MELF and diodes
Please refer to the number engraved on your actual nozzle or the official manual for accuracy. If you can provide the specific nozzle code or the component type you are placing, I can help you make a more precise determination.
