OVERVIEW

ESAB 0334289880 Contact Device D20 275mm Overview

The ESAB 0334289880 is a specialized Contact Device designed for use with ESAB's automatic welding equipment, specifically within Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) configurations. This component plays a critical role in the welding head assembly, acting as the primary conduit for transferring welding current to the wire electrode while guiding it precisely into the weld joint. With a diameter of 20mm (D20) and a length of 275mm, this device is engineered to fit specific torch geometries found in ESAB's heavy-duty automation lines, such as the A2 and A6 series welding heads.

Manufactured to strict OEM tolerances, this contact device ensures seamless integration with existing equipment, preventing issues related to misalignment or poor electrical contact. In industrial environments where downtime equates to significant revenue loss, using genuine ESAB parts like the 0334289880 guarantees reliability and performance consistency. The unit is constructed from high-grade copper alloy, selected for its superior thermal and electrical conductivity, which is essential for managing the high amperages typical of submerged arc processes.

Regular inspection and replacement of the contact device are recommended to maintain weld quality. As the bore wears over time due to wire friction and heat, electrical transfer can become inconsistent, leading to arc instability. The 0334289880 provides a durable solution that extends service intervals and supports continuous, high-volume production.

FAQ

The contact device is 275mm in length.

It has a diameter of 20mm (D20).

This part is typically designed for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) heads, which are distinct from standard handheld MIG guns.

It is manufactured from a high-conductivity copper alloy designed for durability and efficient current transfer.

Replace it when you notice keyholing (wear) at the tip, inconsistent arc starts, or if the wire is no longer feeding centrally.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB part with SKU 0334289880.

No, this is typically the contact device (tube/body) itself. Contact jaws or tips are usually sold separately depending on wire size.
