Pro-source 16S-45 Mig Welder Contact Tip 0.045 in Wire Dia

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 16S-45 is a MIG welder contact tip designed to guide and conduct current to the welding wire as it feeds through the torch. Sized for 0.045-inch wire diameter, this contact tip serves as a wear component in the MIG welding process, requiring periodic replacement to maintain arc stability and weld quality. The tip measures 1.5 inches in length with a 0.37-inch width and height profile, and weighs 0.042 pounds. It is a direct consumable for MIG welding torches and is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

This contact tip is suited for use in MIG welding applications across fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light manufacturing environments. It accommodates 0.045-inch solid or flux-core wire and fits into standard MIG torch assemblies that accept tips of this thread pattern and body size. Welders and fabricators working with common wire feed machines will find this tip appropriate for routine torch maintenance and consumable restocking.

Installation Notes

Contact tips are replaced by qualified welders or torch maintenance personnel. Always power down and disconnect the welder from its power source before replacing the contact tip. Allow the torch to cool completely before handling to avoid burns. Use the appropriate tip wrench or pliers to remove and seat the tip snugly without overtightening, which can cause galling or thread damage.
