OVERVIEW

Reliable Contact Tips for Smooth Wire Feeding

Every welder knows that the contact tip is the unsung hero of the MIG gun. If your tip is worn out, your arc starts sputtering, your wire burns back, and you spend more time troubleshooting than laying beads. The ESAB 340P123262 is built to solve those headaches. This isn't your basic copper tip; it's made from a Copper Chromium Zirconium (CuCrZr) alloy. In plain English, that means it's harder and handles heat way better than standard tips. If you are running hot and fast, or using pulsed MIG, this is the tip you want in your torch. It resists softening when things get hot, meaning the hole stays round longer and the wire keeps feeding smoothly.

This specific tip features an M8 thread and is 30mm long, a standard size for many ESAB PSF guns and similar setups. It is sized perfectly for 1.2mm (0.045") wire, which is a go-to size for structural work and medium-to-heavy fabrication. Because the material is tougher, the wire doesn't wear a groove into the tip as quickly (keyholing), which is the number one cause of erratic arcs. When the wire makes good contact with the tip, the electricity transfers efficiently, giving you that crisp, frying-bacon sound and a consistent weld puddle.

Stop swapping out cheap tips every hour. Upgrade to ESAB's CuCrZr tips and keep your hood down and your arc on. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, having a high-quality contact point ensures that your machine's power actually makes it to the work piece. This pack contains the reliability you need to get through the shift with fewer interruptions and better looking welds.

FAQ

CuCrZr (Copper Chromium Zirconium) is a harder alloy with a higher softening temperature than standard E-Cu (Electrolytic Copper), making it last longer in high-heat applications.

This contact tip is designed for 1.2mm (0.045 inch) welding wire.

The tip has an M8 thread and an overall length of 30mm.

It fits ESAB PSF torches that utilize M8 contact tips (commonly PSF 305, 405, 505, and similar models). Always check your torch manual to confirm.

Pulsed welding generates higher peak currents and heat; CuCrZr withstands this thermal stress better than standard copper, preventing premature failure.

Change the tip when the bore becomes oval-shaped (keyholed), if the wire frequently burns back, or if the arc becomes unstable and erratic.

Yes, CuCrZr tips are excellent for aluminum due to their hardness, though specific aluminum tips often have slightly larger bore tolerances for thermal expansion.

This listing is generally for a single tip (1 Per Ea), but contact tips are often purchased in bulk quantities for convenience.
