2062346 - ESAB Contact Socket 5000R (Pack of 50)

Precision Contact Sockets for Industrial Welding

The ESAB Contact Socket 5000R is a critical consumable component designed for high-performance MIG/MAG welding applications. Engineered to facilitate the transfer of welding current to the electrode wire, this contact socket plays a pivotal role in maintaining arc stability and ensuring consistent weld penetration. Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, it offers excellent thermal conductivity and electrical properties, minimizing resistance heating and extending the service life of the component under continuous load.

This product is supplied in a bulk package of 50 units, making it an ideal choice for high-volume fabrication environments where consumable turnover is frequent. The 5000R series designation indicates compatibility with specific heavy-duty welding torches and systems, ensuring a precise fit and optimal gas flow characteristics. The internal bore is machined to tight tolerances to prevent wire snagging while allowing for smooth feeding, which is essential for automated and manual welding processes alike.

Regular replacement of contact sockets is necessary to prevent issues such as keyholing (ovalization of the bore), which can lead to wandering arcs and poor contact. By maintaining a stock of these high-quality ESAB sockets, facility managers and welding engineers can ensure that their equipment operates at peak efficiency, reducing the likelihood of weld defects caused by worn consumables.
