The ESAB 0808650882 Contact Jaw Twin 1.6mm - 73mm is a critical component designed for the rigorous demands of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). Engineered specifically for use with ESAB's renowned A2 and A6 automatic welding heads, this contact jaw ensures superior electrical conductivity and reliable wire feeding. In automated welding environments where downtime equates to significant lost revenue, using genuine OEM consumables is essential for maintaining process stability and equipment longevity.
Manufactured from a high-grade copper alloy, this contact jaw is built to withstand the intense heat and high amperage typical of sub-arc applications. The "Twin" designation indicates its suitability for twin-wire configurations, a process often utilized to increase deposition rates and travel speeds in heavy fabrication. With a precise bore for 1.6mm (1/16 inch) wire and a total length of 73mm, it provides the exact geometry required for optimal current transfer. Poor contact can lead to micro-arcing inside the tip, wire burn-back, and unstable arcs; this precision component mitigates those risks, ensuring a smooth, consistent weld bead.
Industrial MRO procurement specialists will appreciate the reliability that comes with ESAB's engineering. This part is not merely a replacement; it is a restoration of the machine's original performance specifications. Whether utilized in shipbuilding, pipe mills, or structural steel fabrication, the 0808650882 contact jaw delivers the consistency required for code-quality welds. Its robust construction reduces the frequency of changeovers, thereby optimizing the overall efficiency of the welding cell.
