632797 - ESAB M8 Contact Tip 1/16" (1.6mm) - 5 Pack

Precision Engineered ESAB M8 Contact Tips

The contact tip is the final transfer point for welding current, making it one of the most critical components in any MIG welding system. The ESAB 632797 Contact Tip is precision-engineered for 1/16" (1.6mm) wire diameters, offering superior arc starting and stability characteristics. Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, these tips are designed to resist deformation under high thermal loads, a common challenge when welding with large diameter wires at high amperages. The M8 thread specification ensures a tight, conductive fit with compatible gas diffusers, minimizing voltage drop across the front-end assembly.

For professional welders, the geometry of the contact tip bore is paramount. ESAB utilizes tight manufacturing tolerances to ensure the wire feeds smoothly while maintaining continuous electrical contact. This reduces the occurrence of micro-arcing inside the tip, which can lead to premature failure and wire jamming. The 37mm length and M8 thread make this tip a standard fit for many ESAB PSF series guns and other Euro-style torch configurations requiring heavy-duty consumables.

Optimizing your welding parameters requires reliable consumables. Using worn or ovalized tips can lead to wandering arcs and poor bead profiles. The ESAB 632797 provides the durability needed for extended welding sessions, making it ideal for automated or manual welding of thick plate materials. This 5-pack ensures you have the necessary replacements to maintain high productivity levels without compromising on weld quality.
