Victor 11601603 Mig Welder Contact Tip Tapered Base

Product Description

The VICTOR 11601603 is a tapered-base contact tip designed for MIG welding applications. It accepts a maximum wire outside diameter of 0.04 inches (1.00 mm) and is rated for a maximum of 200 amps. The tip is constructed from copper alloy tubing, which promotes efficient electrical conductivity and heat transfer during the welding process. It features a tapered base connection type and is engineered to work with a mating gas diffuser. This part is sold individually and is installed by welding technicians and fabricators performing MIG wire-feed welding operations.

This contact tip is intended for use with 250 Amp and 450 Amp Eliminator MIG guns. It is suited for production welding, fabrication shops, and maintenance welding environments where consistent wire-to-tip contact is critical for stable arc performance. The tapered base design allows for straightforward tip changes during routine gun maintenance. It is appropriate for both light fabrication and higher-amperage applications within its rated capacity.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 250 Amp and 450 Amp Eliminator MIG guns as specified by VICTOR for Series 16 MIG welding equipment.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is performed by welding technicians during routine MIG gun maintenance. Always power down the welder and allow the gun to cool before handling the contact tip or gas diffuser. Use the appropriate tip wrench to avoid cross-threading or deforming the tapered base connection. Inspect the gas diffuser for wear or spatter buildup when replacing the contact tip.
