OVERVIEW

Maximize Power Transfer with ESAB OKC Connectors

When it comes to welding performance, every volt counts. The ESAB OKC 25 Female Cable Connector (0160361881) is engineered to deliver maximum power transfer from your machine to your workpiece. Designed for professional welders who demand consistency, this connector utilizes high-grade brass components to ensure superior electrical conductivity. By minimizing resistance at the connection point, the OKC 25 helps maintain a smooth, stable arc, which is critical for producing high-quality welds, especially in precision applications.

This female cable connector is designed to mate with standard OKC 25 male plugs (and compatible Dinse-style plugs). It serves as the ideal solution for creating extension cords for your welding leads, allowing you to reach workpieces that are far from your power source without moving the machine. The connector accommodates cable sizes ranging from 10mm² to 25mm², making it suitable for a wide variety of portable inverters and light industrial welding machines. The connection mechanism is a proven bayonet style: simply push and twist to lock. This ensures a vibration-proof connection that won't come loose during operation.

Safety and durability are paramount in the design of the 0160361881. The connector is housed in a tough, flexible rubber sleeve that provides excellent electrical insulation and protection against environmental hazards. It is resistant to heat, ozone, and oil, ensuring that the connector remains safe to handle and fully operational even in harsh welding environments. Whether you are upgrading your existing leads or replacing a damaged socket, the ESAB OKC 25 is the professional's choice for secure, high-efficiency cable connections.

Product Highlights:

  • Efficient Power: Low-resistance brass contact points reduce heat and voltage drop.
  • Secure Lock: Bayonet system prevents accidental uncoupling.
  • Rugged Housing: Heavy-duty rubber resists workshop wear and tear.

FAQ

The OKC 25 size is designed for welding cables with a cross-section between 10mm² and 25mm².

Yes, ESAB OKC connectors are generally compatible with standard Dinse-style connectors of the corresponding size (10-25).

This is the Female connector (socket), typically used on the end of a cable to accept a male plug.

The cable is typically secured using a set screw or a copper sleeve crimp/tightening mechanism inside the brass body, followed by sliding the rubber cover over the assembly.

While ratings can vary by duty cycle, OKC 25 connectors are typically rated for approximately 200 Amps.

Yes, the part number 0160361881 includes both the metal connector body and the rubber insulating sleeve.

Absolutely. By installing this female connector on one end of a cable and a male connector on the other, you can create a reliable extension lead.
