OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance for MIG Welding

Ensure your MIG welding projects run smoothly with these high-quality ESAB Contact Tips, designed specifically for 0.035-inch (0.9 mm) wire. The contact tip is one of the most critical components of your welding gun, responsible for transferring the welding current to the wire as it passes through. A worn or inferior tip can lead to erratic arcs, poor penetration, and frustrating wire feed issues. These tips are manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring a snug yet smooth fit for the wire, which promotes consistent electrical contact and stable arc characteristics.

Constructed from durable copper alloy, these tips are built to withstand the intense heat and electrical demands of MIG welding. They effectively resist keyholing (the wearing of the bore into an oval shape) and spatter adhesion, extending the time between replacements. Whether you are working on automotive repairs, light fabrication, or general maintenance, having a fresh contact tip is the first step to a quality weld.

This package contains five contact tips, providing you with ample spares to keep your operations running without interruption. Regular replacement of contact tips is a best practice for any welder, as it prevents the common issues associated with tip wear, such as micro-arcing inside the tip and wire jamming. Keep your torch performing at its best with these essential consumables.

Key Benefits

  • Consistent Arc: Precision manufacturing ensures optimal electrical transfer.
  • Durable Material: High-grade copper resists heat and wear.
  • Perfect Fit: Sized exactly for 0.035" wire to prevent wandering.

FAQ

These contact tips are designed for use with 0.035-inch (0.9 mm) welding wire.

This package contains 5 contact tips.

They are made from high-conductivity copper alloy.

Replace the tip if the hole becomes oval-shaped (keyholed), clogged with spatter, or if you experience erratic arc and wire feeding issues.

Yes, as long as the flux-cored wire diameter is 0.035 inches.

Using the correct size ensures proper electrical contact. An oversized tip causes micro-arcing, while an undersized tip causes wire drag.

No, they fit specific gun models (likely Tweco or ESAB style). Please check your MIG gun's manual for part compatibility.

Fresh, high-quality copper tips dissipate heat better, which can help reduce the frequency of burn-back events.
