11601784 - Tweco Velocity VTHET52 Heavy Duty Extended Tapered Contact Tip (0.052") - 10 Pack

High-Performance Tweco Velocity Contact Tips

The Tweco VTHET52 Velocity Contact Tip is a premium consumable designed for industrial MIG welding applications utilizing 0.052-inch (1.3 mm) wire. Part of the revolutionary Velocity™ MIG consumable platform, these tips are engineered to solve common welding frustrations such as arc instability, burn-back, and premature tip failure. This specific model features a Heavy Duty Extended Tapered geometry, which provides the thermal mass required for high-heat applications while maintaining a slim profile for accessing tight joints.

The core innovation of the Velocity system is its Solid Copper Conductor Path. Unlike traditional threaded tips that rely on the thread interface for electrical transfer—often a point of high resistance and heat generation—the Velocity tip drops into the gas diffuser and is locked in place by the nozzle. This design creates a large surface area of direct copper-to-copper contact, significantly improving electrical conductivity. As a result, the arc remains stable even at high amperages, and the tip runs substantially cooler, extending its service life.

This package contains 10 contact tips, ensuring your welding operation remains productive with minimal downtime. The VTHET52 is ideal for heavy fabrication, structural steel, and manufacturing environments where 0.052" wire is the standard. By optimizing the electrical and thermal transfer, Tweco Velocity consumables help reduce operating costs and improve weld quality.
