340P163262 - ESAB M8x30mm CuCrZr Contact Tip for 1.6mm Wire

Premium Industrial Contact Tips for High-Performance Welding

The ESAB Contact Tip M8 x 30mm (SKU 340P163262) represents the gold standard in MIG welding consumables for heavy industrial applications. Engineered specifically for 1.6mm (1/16") welding wires, this contact tip is manufactured from Copper-Chromium-Zirconium (CuCrZr), an advanced alloy designed to withstand the rigors of high-amperage and high-duty-cycle welding environments. Unlike standard electrolytic copper (E-Cu) tips, which can soften and deform when exposed to extreme heat, CuCrZr retains its structural integrity and hardness at significantly higher temperatures. This thermal stability is crucial for maintaining consistent electrical conductivity and preventing the 'keyholing' effect that leads to erratic arcs and poor weld quality.

In automated and robotic welding setups where downtime equates to lost revenue, the longevity of consumables is paramount. The ESAB CuCrZr tip reduces the frequency of tip changes, thereby increasing overall arc-on time and productivity. The M8 thread specification ensures a robust and secure connection to the gas diffuser or tip adapter, minimizing electrical resistance at the joint. With a length of 30mm, this tip provides ample contact area for current transfer to the wire, ensuring efficient energy delivery to the weld pool. Whether you are welding structural steel, heavy machinery, or pressure vessels, relying on high-quality consumables like the ESAB 340P163262 ensures that your welding equipment performs at its peak potential.

Josef Gas supplies this component as part of a comprehensive range of ESAB welding solutions. By choosing genuine ESAB parts, operators ensure compatibility with their PSF series guns and other Euro-style torches requiring M8 geometry. The precision manufacturing of the bore ensures smooth wire feeding, reducing the risk of burn-backs and micro-arcing inside the tip. Invest in durability and precision with ESAB's CuCrZr contact tips.
