The Lincoln Electric KP16S-564 Contact Tip is a premium consumable designed for the professional welder who demands precision and durability under high-load conditions. As a critical component of the electrical circuit in MIG welding, the contact tip is responsible for transferring the welding current to the wire. In high-amperage applications—up to 600A—standard tips can overheat, soften, and fail prematurely. The KP16S-564 is the Heavy Duty answer to these challenges, specifically engineered for the Magnum series guns to deliver superior arc stability and extended service life.
Optimized for 5/64 inch (2.0 mm) wire, this contact tip features a precision-machined bore that ensures optimal electrical contact while allowing for smooth wire feeding. A tight tolerance between the wire and the tip is crucial for maintaining a stable arc; however, if the tip overheats, the copper can expand and seize the wire. Lincoln Electric utilizes high-grade copper alloys and a heavy-walled design in the KP16S-564 to maximize thermal conductivity. This design pulls heat away from the bore, preventing the micro-arcing and erosion that lead to erratic wire feeding and poor weld bead aesthetics.
Welders know that "burn-back" and "bird-nesting" are often symptoms of worn or inferior contact tips. By investing in the KP16S-564, you are investing in smoother starts and consistent penetration. The heavy-duty construction is particularly beneficial when welding with flux-cored wires or solid wires in spray transfer mode, where radiant heat is intense. The tips are sold in a 10-pack, ensuring you have replacements on hand to maintain peak performance throughout long shifts.
Compatible with Lincoln's industry-leading Magnum MIG guns, these tips are a direct replacement that restores your equipment to factory specifications. Don't let a worn tip compromise the integrity of your heavy structural welds. Choose the KP16S-564 for a reliable electrical connection that stands up to the heat, arc after arc.
