OVERVIEW

Genuine Replacement Trigger for TGX Series

Maintain the integrity of your welding equipment with the Tregaskiss 211-5 Trigger Switch, the authorized OEM replacement for Tregaskiss TGX MIG guns featuring the Small Handle design. This component is standard equipment for the TGX 250 Amp and 300 Amp gun models, providing the electrical bridge necessary to initiate the welding arc and wire feed. Over time, the mechanical contacts within a trigger switch can wear down due to the thousands of cycles a welder performs, or they can become contaminated with shop debris. Replacing the switch with a genuine 211-5 unit is a cost-effective maintenance step that prevents arc failures and ensures consistent operation.

The design of the TGX Small Handle is favored for its ergonomics and maneuverability, and the 211-5 switch is integral to that user experience. It offers a crisp actuation point, giving the welder positive feedback when the arc is engaged. Unlike universal switches that may require soldering or modification to fit, this unit is designed for a drop-in installation. This specific compatibility reduces the risk of improper installation which could lead to electrical shorts or safety hazards. For MRO professionals, stocking these switches is a proactive measure to support fleet uptime.

In the world of semi-automatic welding, the trigger is the primary interface between the operator and the machine. A failing trigger can manifest as a "stuttering" wire feeder or an arc that cuts out unexpectedly, often leading to weld defects that require costly rework. The Tregaskiss 211-5 is engineered to handle the control voltage currents reliably, ensuring that the signal to the wire feeder and power source is clean and immediate. Trust in the engineering of Tregaskiss to support your welding operations with parts that last.

Compatibility Note: This switch is exclusively for the TGX Small Handle (250A/300A). Please verify your gun model handle size before ordering, as larger amperage guns may utilize a different switch configuration.
