The Hakko C5040 N2 Nozzle Assembly (C) allows the FM-2032 micro soldering iron (sold separately) to be used with nitrogen without the need for any new tips or handpieces. The nozzle assembly fits over T30-J tips like a sleeve and directs the flow of nitrogen around the tip and towards the solder at the end of the tip. The C5040 nozzle assembly offers the most accurate delivery of N2 to the end of the tip. The B5178 hose assembly connects the nozzle to nitrogen flow and includes cord holders to conveniently clip the tube to the soldering iron cord. The nozzle is compatible with B5178 hose assembly and is interchangeable via hose barb fitting.

Now with the added feature of nitrogen, users can effectively preheat the component and board to help prevent thermal shock as well as allow users to operate the soldering iron at lower temperatures while achieving the same results. Nitrogen can also improve solderability, or the ability for melted solder to wet to pads or joints while also reducing oxidation build up on tips. Note: Nozzle assembly requires B5178 Hose Assembly, sold separately.
