0457625012 - ESAB M8 Contact Tip 2.4mm (3/32") - Pack of 10

Industrial Grade ESAB Contact Tips for Heavy Fabrication

The ESAB 0457625012 is a premium M8 contact tip designed specifically for heavy-duty MIG/MAG and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) applications. Engineered to accommodate large diameter 2.4mm (3/32") welding wires, this consumable is an essential component for industrial manufacturing environments where deposition rates and equipment reliability are paramount. The tip features a robust M8 thread, which provides a larger surface area for electrical contact compared to standard M6 tips, ensuring superior current transfer and reduced heat buildup at the diffuser connection point.

Manufactured from a high-quality copper alloy, these contact tips are developed to withstand the intense thermal cycles associated with high-amperage welding. The metallurgy is balanced to offer excellent electrical conductivity while maintaining sufficient hardness to resist the abrasive wear caused by the continuous feeding of heavy steel or cored wires. Precision machining ensures that the concentricity of the bore is maintained, which is critical for accurate wire targeting and preventing micro-arcing inside the tip, a common cause of premature failure and burn-back.

Supply chain managers and procurement specialists will appreciate the packaging configuration of this product. Supplied in a pack of 10, the ESAB 0457625012 allows for efficient inventory management and ensures that welding stations are always stocked with necessary replacements. Regular replacement of contact tips is a standard maintenance procedure to maintain weld quality; having a reliable stock of OEM-quality tips helps minimize unplanned downtime. This specific SKU is compatible with ESAB PSF series guns and other MIG torches utilizing standard M8 contact tip holders, making it a versatile addition to any MRO inventory focused on heavy structural steel, shipbuilding, or yellow goods manufacturing.
