OVERVIEW

Get Back to Welding with the Tweco Control Wire Assembly

There is nothing more frustrating than pulling the trigger on your MIG gun and getting absolutely no response. You check the ground, you check the machine settings, but the wire just won't feed and the arc won't start. Often, the culprit is hidden deep inside your cable: a broken or frayed control wire. The Tweco 2642-2401 Control Wire Assembly is the genuine replacement part you need to bring your trusty Tweco MIG gun back to life. It’s the invisible lifeline that connects your hand to the machine, and when it fails, your work comes to a grinding halt.

Designed specifically for Tweco guns, this control wire assembly isn't just a piece of generic wire. It is built to handle the rough-and-tumble life of a welding shop. We know you drag your leads across the floor, twist them around jigs, and hang them over booms. That constant movement puts stress on the internal wiring. Tweco uses high-quality, flexible copper stranding that resists breaking even after thousands of bends. The tough insulation protects the signal from shorting out against the power cable, ensuring that when you click that trigger, the machine responds instantly, every single time.

Replacing your control wire is a smart, cost-effective way to extend the life of your welding gun. Instead of buying a whole new gun assembly because of a simple electrical fault, you can swap out the damaged wire and restore factory-fresh performance. It’s a straightforward repair that pays for itself immediately by eliminating those annoying intermittent starts and stops that ruin your weld bead consistency. Whether you are a professional fabricator or a serious hobbyist, keeping your equipment in top shape is key to quality results.

Don't settle for makeshift repairs or splicing that will just fail again in a week. Trust the brand that built your gun. The Tweco 2642-2401 ensures a perfect fit inside your cable hose without bunching up or restricting gas flow. Keep a spare in your toolbox so you're never left stranded in the middle of a project. With this reliable replacement part, you can focus on what you do best—laying down perfect welds—knowing your equipment is ready to perform.

FAQ

The control wire assembly connects the trigger switch on the MIG gun handle to the welding machine, carrying the signal to initiate the arc, gas flow, and wire feed.

If your welding gun trigger is unresponsive, works intermittently when the cable is moved, or if a multimeter shows no continuity across the trigger leads, the control wire is likely damaged.

Yes, the 2642-2401 is a genuine Tweco control wire assembly designed to meet original equipment specifications.

No, it is designed specifically for Tweco MIG guns. You should check your gun's parts manual to confirm the part number matches 2642-2401.
