OVERVIEW

High-Performance Consumables for Industrial Welding

The Lincoln Electric Magnum® PRO Contact Tip (KP2745-116T-B100) is a premium consumable designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Engineered for use with Magnum® PRO MIG guns, these contact tips are essential for maintaining consistent arc quality and productivity in high-amperage welding environments. This specific model is sized for 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) wire and features a tapered geometry, making it ideal for applications requiring precise access to joints without compromising shielding gas coverage.

At the core of this product's performance is Lincoln's proprietary Copper Plus® technology. Unlike standard copper tips that soften and degrade rapidly under high heat, Copper Plus® tips utilize a specialized alloy that retains its hardness and conductivity even at elevated temperatures. This results in a lifespan that is up to four times longer than conventional tips, significantly reducing the frequency of changeovers and the associated downtime. For workshops and production lines running continuous shifts, the bulk pack of 100 units offers exceptional value and convenience, ensuring that operators always have replacement parts on hand.

The KP2745-116T-B100 is rated for 550 Amps, making it suitable for heavy-duty structural steel, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment manufacturing. The tip features a larger mass compared to standard tips, which acts as an effective heat sink to dissipate thermal energy away from the wire contact point. Additionally, the threads are designed with anti-seize properties, preventing the tip from fusing to the gas diffuser—a common issue that can damage the gun and delay production. By investing in genuine Lincoln Electric consumables, businesses can ensure their welding equipment operates at peak efficiency with minimal interruptions.

Whether you are welding thick plate or managing a robotic welding cell, the reliability of your contact tip is paramount. The Magnum PRO series addresses common failure points such as burn-back and wandering arcs by providing a superior electrical interface between the gun and the wire. This bulk package is specifically tailored for high-volume users who demand consistency, durability, and cost-effectiveness in their welding operations.

FAQ

Copper Plus technology uses a specialized alloy that resists heat and wear better than standard copper, providing up to 4x longer tip life and reducing the frequency of replacements.

The KP2745-116T-B100 is designed for use with 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) welding wire.

No, it is specifically designed for Lincoln Electric Magnum® PRO MIG guns and is not backward compatible with older Magnum series guns without the proper diffuser conversion.

A tapered contact tip reduces the front-end profile of the gun, allowing for better visibility of the weld puddle and easier access into tight joints or corners.

This item (KP2745-116T-B100) is a bulk package containing 100 contact tips.

These contact tips are rated for up to 550 Amps, making them suitable for high-heat, heavy-duty welding applications.

Yes, the larger mass and superior heat dissipation of the Copper Plus alloy help keep the tip cooler, which reduces the likelihood of the wire fusing to the tip during burn-back events.
