16S-35 - Tweco 16S-35 Heavy-Duty Contact Tip .035 (25-Pack)

Experience Smoother Arcs with Tweco 16S-35 Contact Tips

As a welder, you know that the contact tip is the final transfer point for welding current, making it one of the most critical components in your MIG gun. A worn or poorly made tip can cause erratic arcs, wire stuttering, and frustrating burn-backs that ruin your rhythm and your welds. The Tweco 16S-35 Contact Tip is built to solve these problems. Designed for .035" wire, these tips are machined from a superior copper alloy that handles heat far better than generic alternatives. This means the tip stays cooler, lasts longer, and maintains its shape even when you are pushing your machine to the limit.

The secret to the performance of the 16S-35 lies in its internal precision. Tweco machines the bore of these tips to an incredibly tight tolerance of +/- .003 inches. Why does this matter to you? Because a precise bore means the wire has consistent contact with the copper wall without getting snagged. This results in a smooth, drag-free wire feed that lets you focus on your puddle control rather than fighting your gun. The smooth internal finish also reduces the buildup of spatter and debris inside the tip, further extending its life and reducing downtime for changes.

These tips are rated for up to 600 amps, making them true heavy-duty consumables. Whether you are spraying at high voltage or running a hot short-circuit transfer, the 16S-35 delivers the current efficiently. The threaded design locks tight into your diffuser, preventing the tip from loosening as the gun heats up and cools down. Plus, with the part number and size clearly stamped on the side, you never have to guess if you grabbed the right tip from the bin. This pack of 25 ensures you have plenty of backups in your toolbox, so you can swap out a fresh tip the moment you suspect wear and keep your welds looking professional.

Why Choose Tweco 16S Series?

Tweco has been a trusted name in MIG welding for decades, and the 16S series is a testament to their commitment to quality. Unlike cheap knock-offs that use inferior copper or loose tolerances, these tips provide the electrical consistency needed for X-ray quality welds. If you are tired of troubleshooting wire feed issues, starting with a fresh, high-quality Tweco contact tip is often the best fix.
