OVERVIEW

Superior Arc Stability with Magnum PRO Copper Plus Technology

For professional welders, the contact tip is the critical transfer point of welding current to the wire. A worn or overheating tip can lead to erratic arcs, burn-backs, and frustrating downtime. The Lincoln Electric KP2745-040R-B100 contact tips are designed to solve these common issues through superior engineering and materials. Part of the Magnum PRO series, these tips are crafted from a specialized Copper Plus® alloy that handles heat far better than standard copper. This means the tip stays harder at high temperatures, preventing the bore from wearing out prematurely (keyholing) and keeping your wire targeting precise.

These tips are sized for .040 inch (1.0 mm) wire and are built to handle the demands of high-output welding, with a rating of 550 Amps. One of the standout features of the Magnum PRO system is the patent-pending anti-seize thread design. If you have ever struggled to remove a fused contact tip with pliers, you will appreciate this innovation. The threads are designed to prevent the tip from melting to the diffuser, ensuring that when it is finally time to change the tip, it comes out easily. Additionally, the flattened thread form maximizes the contact area for electrical transfer, ensuring that the power goes into the arc, not into heating up the gun.

This 100-pack bulk box is perfect for busy shops that demand consistency. By using genuine Lincoln Electric consumables, you ensure that your Magnum PRO gun operates at peak efficiency. The consistent bore diameter reduces micro-arcing, which in turn reduces the buildup of spatter on the tip face. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, having a fresh, high-quality contact tip is the first step to a perfect bead. Upgrade your consumables to Copper Plus and experience the difference in arc control and longevity.

Why Choose Magnum PRO Tips?

  • Cooler Operation: Larger mass and better conductivity keep the tip cooler, preventing wire burn-back.
  • Reliable Feeding: Precision manufacturing ensures the wire feeds smoothly without drag or wandering.
  • Secure Connection: The robust thread design ensures the tip stays tight during operation but releases easily for maintenance.

FAQ

Copper Plus is a proprietary alloy developed by Lincoln Electric that has higher hardness and heat resistance than standard copper. This allows the tip to resist wear and keyholing for a longer period, especially in high-heat applications.

No, these tips are specifically designed for Lincoln Electric Magnum PRO MIG guns (both semi-automatic and robotic). They are not compatible with older Magnum 300/400 series or Tweco-style back ends without the correct Magnum PRO front-end conversion.

This contact tip is precision-drilled for .040 inch (1.0 mm) welding wire.

The 550A rating indicates the tip has a larger mass and is capable of dissipating the heat generated by high-amperage welding currents without softening or failing, which is critical for heavy industrial fabrication.

The 'B100' suffix indicates that this is a bulk package containing 100 contact tips, as opposed to smaller retail blister packs.

Yes, as long as the flux-cored wire diameter is .040 inch, these tips are excellent for flux-cored applications due to their high heat resistance.

Yes, they must be used with Magnum PRO series gas diffusers which accommodate the specific thread pitch and diameter of the Magnum PRO contact tips.

The Magnum PRO tips feature flattened threads which increase the surface area for electrical contact. This improves conductivity and reduces heat buildup at the connection point.
