0154623002 - ESAB M12 Contact Tip 5.0mm (3/16") for SAW - 5 Pack

Technical Overview of ESAB 0154623002

The ESAB 0154623002 is a specialized contact tip designed for heavy-industrial welding applications, specifically Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). Engineered with a standard M12 thread, this tip is precision-drilled to accommodate 5.0mm (approximately 3/16 inch) welding wire. It is a critical component for maintaining electrical contact in ESAB's automatic welding systems, including the widely used A2 and A6 series welding heads.

Manufactured from high-quality copper alloy, this contact tip offers superior thermal and electrical conductivity, which is essential when managing the high amperage loads typical of submerged arc processes. The M12 threading ensures a robust mechanical connection to the torch body, preventing loosening during operation due to vibration or thermal expansion. The internal bore is machined to tight tolerances to provide consistent wire feeding and optimal current transfer, reducing the risk of micro-arcing inside the tip which can lead to premature failure.

This product is supplied in a pack of 5, allowing for efficient inventory management and reduced downtime during continuous welding operations. It is identified by the internal SKU ESB0154623002 and is a direct replacement for worn tips in compatible ESAB setups. Proper selection of contact tips based on wire diameter is crucial for process stability; this 5.0mm variant is specifically intended for heavy-gauge wire applications often found in beam fabrication, pipe manufacturing, and pressure vessel construction.
