0700300338 - ESAB M8 Contact Tip 0.045 Inch (1.2mm) - 50 Pack

Reliable ESAB M8 Contact Tips for High-Volume Welding

In the demanding world of industrial fabrication, consistency is key. The ESAB 0700300338 Contact Tip M8 (0.045) 50PK is designed to keep your production lines moving with minimal interruption. These contact tips are a critical component in the MIG welding process, responsible for transferring the welding current to the wire as it exits the torch. Manufactured by ESAB, a global leader in welding technology, these tips are engineered to strict tolerances to ensure a stable arc and reliable wire feeding.

This specific contact tip features a robust M8 thread, which is larger than standard M6 threads, allowing for better heat dissipation and a more secure mechanical connection to the gas diffuser. This is particularly beneficial in higher amperage applications where heat buildup can lead to premature failure. The bore is precision-drilled to accommodate 0.045-inch (1.2mm) welding wire, a standard size for structural steel and heavy manufacturing. The tight tolerance between the wire and the tip ensures optimal electrical contact, reducing the risk of micro-arcing inside the tip which can cause burnback and wire fusing.

Supplied in a convenient 50-pack, this product is ideal for workshops and factories that consume consumables regularly. Buying in bulk not only reduces the cost per unit but also ensures that your welders always have fresh tips on hand, preventing the quality issues associated with worn-out consumables. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, starting with a fresh, high-quality contact tip is the first step towards a perfect weld bead.
