674561 - ESAB Murex M6 Contact Socket / Tip Holder

Keep Your MIG Gun Running Smoothly

If you are experiencing erratic arcs, burnback, or your contact tips just won't stay tight, it might be time to check your contact socket. The ESAB 674561 Contact Socket (often referred to as a tip holder) is the direct replacement part for many Murex and ESAB style MIG guns. This little brass part does a big job—it transfers the welding current from your gun to the contact tip. When it gets worn out, dirty, or cross-threaded, your welder's performance suffers.

This socket features standard M6 threads, making it compatible with the M6 contact tips you likely already have in your shop. It is built from durable brass to handle the heat of long welding sessions. Installing it is simple: just unscrew your old, worn-out holder and thread this new one in. A fresh contact socket ensures a solid electrical connection, which means a smoother, more consistent arc and less frustration while you are trying to lay down a bead.

Don't let a cheap consumable ruin your weld quality. Over time, heat and spatter take their toll on front-end parts. If your tip feels loose even after tightening, or if you see arcing marks on the threads, swap it out with this genuine ESAB replacement. It fits perfectly, conducts current efficiently, and helps you get back to welding with confidence. Whether you are working on automotive repairs, light fabrication, or general maintenance, keeping a few of these spares in your toolbox is a smart move.

Compatible with specific Murex and ESAB torch models, this part ensures you aren't fighting your equipment. Get the reliability of OEM parts and keep your downtime to a minimum.
