The contact tip is the final point of electrical contact in your MIG welding system, making it one of the most critical components for achieving a quality weld. The Tweco WS16S116 Contact Tip is a premium replacement part designed for the rigors of heavy industrial welding. Specifically sized for 1/16-inch (1.6mm) wire, this tip is essential for applications requiring high amperage and high deposition rates. Manufactured to Tweco's exacting standards, the WS16S116 ensures that your welding parameters remain consistent throughout the job.
Constructed from a durable copper alloy, this contact tip excels at dissipating heat, which is crucial when welding at the higher amperages typically associated with 1/16" wire. The 16 Series design is one of the most widely used form factors in the industry, featuring a robust 3/8"-24 thread that secures firmly into the gas diffuser. This secure connection maximizes electrical conductivity and prevents the tip from loosening during thermal cycling. The bore of the tip is precision-machined to tight tolerances, preventing micro-arcing inside the tip which can lead to premature failure and burn-back.
Supplied in a pack of 25, these contact tips are an excellent investment for fabrication shops looking to maintain high productivity. Regular replacement of contact tips is necessary to prevent wire drag and erratic arcs; buying in bulk ensures you always have a fresh tip ready when performance starts to degrade. The Tweco WeldSkill series is trusted by professionals worldwide for delivering consistent results in MIG (GMAW) and Flux-Cored (FCAW) welding processes.
