OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance for MIG Welding

The Tweco 407728 MIG Contact Tip is an essential consumable designed to maintain the efficiency and quality of your MIG welding operations. Engineered for use with .030-inch (0.8mm) welding wire, this contact tip ensures precise current transfer from the welding gun to the wire, a critical factor in establishing a stable and consistent arc. Manufactured from a high-grade copper alloy, it offers excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to heat buildup, which helps prevent the wire from burning back or sticking inside the bore.

One of the standout features of this specific model is its notched design. While standard tips are often smooth, the notched feature can aid in identification or provide a specific seating characteristic depending on the diffuser setup. The bore is precision-drilled to tight tolerances, ensuring that the wire feeds smoothly without excessive play, which can lead to wandering arcs, or too much friction, which can cause bird-nesting at the feeder. Regular replacement of contact tips is vital for maintaining weld quality, as worn tips can cause erratic electrical contact and poor bead appearance.

Whether you are working in an automotive body shop, performing light fabrication, or handling general repairs, using genuine or high-quality compatible Tweco consumables ensures your equipment operates at peak performance. This tip is designed to withstand the rigors of daily welding while delivering the consistency professional welders demand.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Conductivity: Premium copper formulation maximizes electrical transfer efficiency.
  • Precision Fit: Accurate bore sizing reduces wire play and improves targeting.
  • Durability: Resists deformation and wear under high-heat conditions.

FAQ

This contact tip is designed for use with .030" (0.8mm) welding wire.

You should change the contact tip when the bore becomes worn (oval-shaped), if the wire starts to stick, or if you experience erratic arc stability. In heavy use, this could be daily.

Notched typically refers to an identification mark or a specific design feature on the base or head of the tip, often used to distinguish wire sizes or fit specific retention systems.

While it can physically fit .030" aluminum wire, aluminum usually requires slightly oversized tips (e.g., a .035" tip for .030" wire) to accommodate thermal expansion. This tip is best for steel or stainless steel.

Yes, as long as the flux-cored wire diameter is .030", this contact tip is suitable for use.

It is made of a high-conductive copper alloy designed to withstand welding heat and electrical current.

The contact tip transfers the welding current to the wire. A good tip ensures a stable electrical connection, which is crucial for a smooth, consistent arc.

No, it is designed for Tweco-style MIG guns (often 11 Series or similar). You must check your MIG gun's manual or existing parts to ensure thread and size compatibility.
