0468500010 - ESAB PSF M6 Contact Tip 1.6mm CuCrZr (Pack of 10)

Reliable Conductivity for ESAB PSF Torches

Keep your ESAB PSF MIG gun running at peak performance with these genuine ESAB M6 Contact Tips. Sized for 1.6mm (1/16") wire, these tips are the welder's choice for heavy-duty applications. This package contains 10 contact tips, ensuring your tool crib is stocked for the week ahead. Identified by part number 0468500010, these are the "Mix" or CuCrZr variants, representing a significant upgrade over standard copper tips for specific applications.

Why CuCrZr?
Professional welders know that heat is the enemy of consumable life. When welding with mixed gases or running high amperages, the contact tip is subjected to extreme thermal stress. These tips are made from a Copper-Chromium-Zirconium alloy. This material is harder and has a higher softening temperature than pure copper. This means the tip bore maintains its precise 1.6mm diameter longer, preventing the wire from wandering (cast issues) and ensuring the electrical contact point remains constant. The result is a stable arc, better bead profile, and fewer interruptions to change out a worn tip.

Compatibility and Fit
These tips are designed with an M6 thread and fit the standard gas nozzle and tip adaptor configurations of the ESAB PSF range. They are compatible with popular models like the PSF 305, PSF 405, and PSF 505. The 1.6mm bore is precision-drilled to accommodate 1/16" solid or flux-cored wires commonly used in heavy fabrication, shipyards, and structural steel work.

Don't let a cheap contact tip ruin a critical weld. Poor conductivity leads to voltage drops and arc instability. Invest in genuine ESAB consumables that match the quality of your power source and wire feeder. These tips provide the mechanical durability and electrical efficiency needed for smooth, spatter-free welding.
