OVERVIEW

ESAB M6 Contact Tip 1.6mm (1/16") - Technical Overview

The ESAB 0153501007 is a high-performance contact tip designed for MIG/MAG welding applications utilizing 1.6mm (1/16") diameter wire. As a critical component in the welding circuit, this contact tip is engineered to facilitate the transfer of welding current to the electrode wire with minimal resistance. It features a standard M6 thread, making it compatible with a broad spectrum of ESAB MIG guns as well as other torches that utilize the M6 contact tip standard. The precise machining of the internal bore ensures that the wire feeds smoothly without excessive play, which is crucial for maintaining a centered arc and consistent weld bead profile.

Manufactured from a durable copper alloy, this contact tip is designed to withstand the intense thermal cycling and mechanical wear associated with heavy industrial welding. The 1.6mm wire size is typically employed in high-deposition applications, such as structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment manufacturing, and shipbuilding. In these environments, the integrity of the contact tip is paramount; a worn or ovalized tip can lead to micro-arcing inside the bore, erratic arc characteristics, and eventual burnback. ESAB's manufacturing tolerances ensure that concentricity is maintained, providing a reliable electrical connection point throughout the lifespan of the tip.

This product is supplied in a pack of 10, catering to the needs of professional workshops where consumable replacement is a routine part of maintenance. Regular inspection and replacement of contact tips are recommended to prevent wire feeding issues. The M6 thread design allows for quick changeovers, minimizing downtime during production. Whether used with solid steel wires, flux-cored wires, or aluminum alloys (where specific clearance is critical), this ESAB contact tip delivers the quality and consistency expected from a leading welding manufacturer.

FAQ

This contact tip features a standard M6 thread.

It is designed for use with 1.6mm (1/16 inch) welding wire.

The package contains 10 contact tips.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB product with the SKU 0153501007.

You should replace the tip if the exit hole becomes oval (keyholed), if the wire frequently burns back to the tip, or if you experience erratic arc starts and instability.

Yes, provided you are using 1.6mm aluminum wire and the tip fits your torch. However, for aluminum, ensure the liner and drive rolls are also appropriate for soft wire.

It fits MIG guns that accept M6 threaded contact tips. This is a very common standard, but you should check your specific torch manual to confirm compatibility.

The contact tip bore must match the wire size to ensure proper electrical contact. A tip that is too large will cause poor conductivity and an unstable arc, while a tip that is too small will cause feeding jams.
