Soldering reflector nozzle Steinel 074616 for Steinel hot air tools

Soldering reflector nozzle Steinel 074616 is an accessory designed for use with Steinel hot air tools. The nozzle concentrates and directs hot air around solder joints to provide controlled, even heating during soldering and desoldering operations. It is shaped to surround small components and connectors, helping to reduce heat loss and focus airflow where it’s needed for accurate thermal work on electronic assemblies.

Advantages

The reflector nozzle provides a focused heating profile that improves efficiency when working with small parts and surface-mounted devices. Its geometry reduces the risk of disturbing nearby components by directing hot air precisely. Made to match the airflow and mounting of Steinel hot air tools, the nozzle simplifies repetitive tasks and contributes to consistent soldering and desoldering results.

Suitable for

• Soldering and desoldering of surface-mount devices (SMD)
• Heating of connectors and small wiring harnesses
• Component removal and rework on printed circuit boards (PCBs)
• Localized shrinking of heat-shrink tubing in confined areas

Key specifications

• Function: reflector nozzle for directing hot air
• Compatibility: designed for use with Steinel hot air tools
• Material: heat-resistant metal suitable for repeated thermal cycles
• Shape: reflector profile to surround and focus airflow around components
• Typical use temperature range: compatible with operating temperatures of Steinel hot air tools

How to use

Attach the reflector nozzle to the hot air tool according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring a secure fit. Set the hot air tool to an appropriate temperature and airflow for the workpiece and type of solder or component. Position the nozzle so the reflector surrounds the target area without contacting the component directly, then apply heat until the solder melts or the component can be removed. Use steady, controlled movements and avoid prolonged heating of any single area to prevent board delamination or component damage.

Recommendations

Work with appropriate personal protection and in a well-ventilated area. Start with lower temperatures and ramp up as needed for the solder alloy and component thermal mass. Allow the nozzle to cool before storage and inspect regularly for deformation or residue that could affect airflow.
