OVERVIEW

Secure Your Leads with the ESAB OKC 10 Connector

There is nothing worse than a loose welding cable connection heating up in the middle of a job or popping apart when you drag your leads across the shop floor. The ESAB OKC 10 Female Cable Connector is built to solve that problem. This is the female socket side of the connection, designed to pair up with your male plugs for a rock-solid, twist-lock fit that stays put until you decide to disconnect it.

If you are building new extension leads or repairing a damaged cable, this connector is the right tool for the job. It is sized for smaller diameter welding cables, specifically the 10-25mm² range (often found on TIG machines or lighter MIG setups). The installation is straightforward—strip your cable, insert it into the brass sleeve, tighten it down securely, and slide the rubber boot over. The result is a connection that conducts current efficiently, keeping your leads cool and your arc smooth.

Durability is key in any welding shop. The rubber boot on this ESAB connector is tough. It can handle being stepped on, dragged over concrete, and exposed to sparks and spatter without cracking or falling apart. It also provides excellent grip, so you can easily twist the connector to lock or unlock it, even if you are wearing heavy welding gloves. The bayonet locking system is the industry standard for a reason—it’s quick, it’s safe, and it works.

Don't let poor connections ruin your welds or damage your machine. Upgrading to genuine ESAB OKC connectors ensures you get maximum power transfer to your torch or stinger. Whether you are a hobbyist with a small inverter machine or a pro welder needing a reliable extension, this connector gives you the confidence that your power delivery system is safe and ready for action.

FAQ

This connector is designed for welding cables with a cross-sectional area of 10mm² to 25mm².

This is the female connector (socket). It is designed to accept a male OKC/Dinse plug.

Yes, the OKC system is compatible with standard Dinse-style connectors of the same size class (10-25).

Strip the cable insulation, insert the copper strands into the brass sleeve, secure it with the provided screw or crimp (depending on the specific internal mechanism), and slide the rubber boot over the assembly.

The insulation boot is made of durable, oil-resistant rubber that withstands heat and abrasion.

No, a 50mm² cable requires a larger connector size, typically the OKC 50-95 or OKC 35-50 series. This unit is too small.

No, this part number (0160361880) refers only to the female connector. The male plug must be purchased separately.

A loose connection creates high electrical resistance, which generates excess heat. This can melt the connector, damage the cable, and cause voltage drops that make the welding arc unstable.
