OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance for Automated Welding

Keep your ESAB A6 welding head running at peak performance with this genuine Contact Device D35 160mm. In the world of automated Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), the consistency of your equipment determines the quality of your weld. This heavy-duty contact tube is designed to handle the heat and stress of continuous operation, ensuring that your production lines stay moving without unexpected interruptions.

Built for the A6 System: This part is specifically engineered to fit ESAB A6 heads, providing a perfect fit that generic parts can't match. The 35mm diameter offers rugged durability, while the 160mm length gives you the reach needed for various joint configurations. Whether you are welding thick plate for shipbuilding, pressure vessels, or structural steel, this contact device ensures the current gets to the wire efficiently and smoothly.

Why Replace It? Over time, the bore of contact devices can wear, leading to poor electrical contact (micro-arcing) and wandering wire placement. Replacing your worn contact device with this fresh ESAB unit restores the electrical integrity of your torch, resulting in a more stable arc, better bead appearance, and fewer defects. It is an essential spare part to keep on the shelf for any serious SAW operation.

  • Genuine ESAB quality for guaranteed fit and function.
  • Optimized for high-amperage current transfer.
  • Durable copper construction resists wear and heat.

FAQ

The ESAB part number is 0417959886.

It is designed for use with ESAB A6 automatic welding heads.

It has a diameter of 35mm (D35) and a length of 160mm.

It is made from a high-conductivity copper alloy to withstand high amperage and heat.

It is primarily used for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) applications with the A6 head.

No, this is the contact device/tube itself. Specific contact jaws or tips may be required depending on the wire diameter.

Replace it when you notice signs of wear such as keyholing in the bore, poor arc stability, or overheating due to poor electrical contact.
