KP11-35 - Lincoln Electric KP11-35 Contact Tip 0.035 (0.9mm) - 10 Pack

Reliable Performance with Lincoln Electric KP11-35 Contact Tips

The Lincoln Electric KP11-35 Contact Tip is a fundamental consumable designed to ensure the smooth operation of your MIG welding equipment. Specifically engineered for use with 0.035-inch (0.9mm) welding wire, these contact tips are a critical component in transferring welding current to the wire as it passes through the gun. Manufactured to Lincoln Electric's high standards, these tips provide a consistent electrical connection, which is essential for maintaining a stable arc and achieving high-quality welds. Whether you are working on automotive repairs, light fabrication, or home hobby projects, using genuine or high-quality compatible consumables is key to minimizing downtime and frustration.

These contact tips feature the popular "Tweco Style" 11-Series design, making them compatible with a vast array of MIG guns, most notably the Lincoln Magnum 100L. The Magnum 100L is the standard gun supplied with many of Lincoln's most popular compact wire feeders, including the SP-series, Weld-Pak, and PowerMIG 140/180 machines. This broad compatibility means that the KP11-35 is the go-to replacement part for thousands of welders across the industry. The tips are machined from high-grade copper, offering excellent heat dissipation and wear resistance, although regular replacement is still necessary to maintain optimal performance.

Worn contact tips can lead to a host of welding issues, such as erratic arc starts, wire stuttering, and poor bead appearance. As the bore of the tip wears out and becomes oval-shaped, the electrical contact with the wire becomes intermittent. By keeping a fresh pack of Lincoln KP11-35 tips on hand, you can quickly swap out worn components and get back to welding with precision. This package contains 10 contact tips, providing an economical solution for regular maintenance. Whether you are running solid steel wire with gas shielding or flux-cored wire, ensuring your contact tip matches your wire diameter is the first step to a successful weld.

Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools—simply unscrew the old tip and thread in the new one by hand or with a pair of welding pliers. The standard threads ensure a secure fit into the gas diffuser. By choosing Lincoln Electric consumables, you are investing in the longevity and reliability of your welding setup, ensuring that every project meets your standards for strength and aesthetics.
