03098544 (often appearing as the full part number 03098544-01) is a Type 4004 ceramic vacuum nozzle for ASM SIPLACE pick-and-place machines, designed for picking up and placing SMD components.
Core Specifications
Constructed from ceramic, this nozzle has a total length of 9.400 mm, with a tip measuring 1.700 × 1.200 mm (length × width). The Type 4004 shares an identical mechanical structure with the Type 6004, making them interchangeable.
Compatibility and Function
The nozzle utilizes vacuum suction to secure components and is compatible with various ASM SIPLACE machine models, including the X4iS, TX1/TX2/TX2i, and SX1/SX2/SX4 series. While the ceramic tip offers excellent wear resistance, it is also relatively brittle; therefore, care should be taken to avoid impacts during installation or removal. Additionally, the internal passage should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages from solder residue, which could otherwise lead to insufficient vacuum pressure.
