OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Performance for Submerged Arc Welding

When you are running heavy submerged arc welding (SAW) jobs, the quality of your contact tip directly impacts your arc stability and weld quality. The ESAB M12 Contact Tip for 5.0mm (3/16") wire is built to withstand the intense heat and high current demands of continuous industrial welding. Whether you are welding thick structural steel, pressure vessels, or large diameter pipes, these tips deliver the reliability professional welders expect from ESAB.

Consistent Current Transfer
In SAW applications, poor contact can lead to voltage fluctuations and weld defects. These tips feature a precision-bored 5.0mm hole that ensures optimal contact with the wire without causing drag or feeding issues. The high-grade copper alloy construction maximizes conductivity, ensuring that the welding current is transferred efficiently to the wire at the contact point. This results in a smoother, more stable arc and better bead profile.

Built for ESAB Automatics
Designed specifically for ESAB's legendary A2 and A6 automatic welding heads, these tips thread in securely with an M12 connection. They are designed to be changed out quickly so you can get back to welding with minimal downtime. The durable material resists wear and deformation, giving you a longer service life compared to generic alternatives. Sold in a convenient pack of 5, you can keep your station stocked and ready for long production runs.

Application Focus
Ideal for shops running 3/16" wire for deep penetration welds. Don't let a worn contact tip compromise your heavy fabrication projects. Upgrade to genuine ESAB consumables for peace of mind and consistent results shift after shift.

FAQ

This contact tip is designed for 5.0mm welding wire, which is approximately equivalent to 3/16 inch.

It features an M12 thread.

Due to the large 5.0mm size, this is primarily used for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW).

It is compatible with ESAB A2 and A6 automatic welding heads.

This item is sold as a pack of 5 contact tips.

It is made from a high-conductivity copper alloy designed for high-amperage applications.

No, using a 5.0mm tip with 4.0mm wire will result in poor electrical contact and an unstable arc. You should use the correct size tip for your wire.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB part with SKU 0154623002.
