0816019983 - ESAB SAW Contact Jaw 120mm Length for A2/A6 Heads

Maximize Uptime with Genuine ESAB SAW Consumables

Keep your automatic welding lines running smoothly with the ESAB Contact Jaw ICE 120mm. In the world of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), the contact jaw acts similarly to a contact tip in MIG welding but on a much larger and more robust scale. This specific 120mm jaw is engineered to fit ESAB's industry-standard A2 and A6 welding heads, providing the essential electrical connection between your power source and the welding wire. When you are running long seams on heavy plate, the last thing you need is a voltage drop or wire feed issue caused by a worn-out contact point.

Built for High Amperage
Submerged arc welding is known for its high deposition rates and deep penetration, processes that require significant electrical current. This ESAB contact jaw is crafted from high-grade copper material capable of withstanding the intense heat and electrical load typical of SAW applications. Its robust design helps dissipate heat effectively, preventing the jaw from softening or deforming during long duty cycles. This ensures that the wire feeds centrally and consistently, which is critical for maintaining the arc's position relative to the joint.

Precision Fit and Function
The 120mm length of this jaw allows for precise positioning within the torch assembly, ensuring the electrical stick-out is maintained according to your procedure specifications. It is designed to minimize friction while maximizing electrical contact area. Over time, the abrasive nature of the wire passing through the jaw will wear a groove or oval shape into the bore. Replacing the jaw with this genuine ESAB part restores the tight tolerance needed for accurate wire placement, reducing the likelihood of arc wander and ensuring your weld beads remain uniform and defect-free.

Application Versatility
Ideal for industries ranging from shipbuilding and wind tower manufacturing to heavy civil construction, this contact jaw supports the continuous operation of your ESAB automation equipment. It is a direct replacement part that integrates seamlessly with your existing A2 or A6 torch setup, allowing maintenance teams to perform quick swaps and get the machine back in production with minimal delay.
