KP16S-35 - Lincoln Electric Magnum Heavy Duty Contact Tip 600A .035 (10-Pack)

Lincoln Electric KP16S-35 Magnum Contact Tip Overview

The Lincoln Electric KP16S-35 is a premium heavy-duty contact tip designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial MIG welding. Part of the renowned Magnum® series, this contact tip is engineered to deliver consistent electrical conductivity and superior arc stability, even in the most challenging fabrication environments. With a substantial amperage rating of 600A, it is built to withstand high heat inputs without softening or deforming, ensuring that your welding operations remain continuous and efficient.

This specific contact tip is sized for 0.035-inch (0.9 mm) welding wire, a standard diameter for a wide range of applications from automotive repair to structural steel fabrication. The internal bore is precision-drilled to tight tolerances, which is critical for maintaining good electrical contact with the wire while minimizing friction. This balance promotes smooth wire feeding and reduces the likelihood of burn-back or erratic arcs caused by poor current transfer. By using genuine Lincoln Electric consumables, operators can expect a significant reduction in troubleshooting time and an increase in overall productivity.

Durability is a hallmark of the KP16S-35. Standard contact tips often wear out quickly under high-amperage loads, leading to "keyholing" where the exit hole becomes oval-shaped. This wear degrades arc direction and stability. The heavy-duty construction of the KP16S-35 utilizes high-quality copper alloy material with excellent thermal properties, allowing it to dissipate heat more effectively than standard tips. This results in a longer lifespan, fewer tip changes per shift, and lower long-term consumable costs.

Supplied in a pack of 10, these contact tips are an essential stock item for any shop using Lincoln Magnum MIG guns. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, ensuring you have a fresh, high-quality contact tip is the first step toward achieving X-ray quality welds. Trust in the reliability of Lincoln Electric's manufacturing to keep your production line moving smoothly.
