OVERVIEW

ESAB 996356 Switch Cord Assembly - 12 ft

The ESAB 996356 Switch Cord Assembly is a critical replacement component for TIG welding professionals using ESAB and legacy Heliarc torch systems. This 12-foot cable assembly connects the torch-mounted switch or remote control to the welding machine, carrying the low-voltage signal required to activate the contactor and initiate the welding arc.

Over time, the constant flexing and movement associated with manual TIG welding can fatigue internal copper strands or damage the outer insulation of control cables. This genuine ESAB replacement part addresses these issues, offering a factory-spec solution that ensures reliable conductivity and signal integrity. The 12-foot length is standard for many manual torch setups, providing a balance between reach and cable management.

Installation is straightforward for qualified maintenance personnel, allowing for quick repair of torches that are failing to trigger. By using genuine ESAB parts, you ensure that the connector types and cable impedance match your machine's requirements, preventing potential damage to control circuits. Keep your TIG station operational and safe with this high-quality switch cord assembly.
