996107 - ESAB 5/64 Inch Contact Tips (5-Pack)

Keep Your Arc Stable with ESAB 5/64" Contact Tips

If you are pushing heavy wire, you know that your contact tip is the unsung hero of the operation. The ESAB 996107 Contact Tube is built specifically for welders running 5/64-inch (2.0mm) wire, a size often found in heavy structural steel fabrication, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment repair. When you are laying down serious metal, you need a tip that can handle the heat and the current without failing halfway through a pass. These tips are designed to do exactly that, providing a reliable electrical connection that keeps your arc smooth and your puddle controllable.

We know that nothing is more frustrating than a contact tip that wears out too fast or causes the wire to drag. When a tip gets "keyholed" (worn into an oval shape), your wire starts to wander, and your aim goes off. Worse yet, poor contact causes the wire to heat up inside the gun, leading to bird-nesting or burnback. These ESAB tips are machined with precision to fit 5/64" wire perfectly—tight enough for great power transfer, but loose enough to let the wire slide through without snagging. The copper alloy construction stands up to the intense heat of high-amperage welding, meaning you spend less time changing tips and more time under the hood.

This package comes with five contact tubes, so you can keep a stash in your toolbox or right at your station. It is always smart to swap out your tip at the first sign of trouble or when starting a critical new joint. Don't let a cheap or worn-out consumable compromise your weld quality. Stick with genuine ESAB parts like the 996107 to ensure your MIG gun performs like it did the day you bought it. Whether you are running flux-cored or solid wire, these tips deliver the consistency professional welders demand.
