OVERVIEW

Replacement Single Maintained Switch for Ergo TIG Torches

Upgrade or repair your TIG torch with the Single Maintained Switch (PER1MT), designed specifically for Ergo-style handles. If you are tired of your finger cramping up halfway through a long bead, this switch is the solution you have been looking for. Known as a "maintained" or "latching" trigger, this switch operates like a light switch: you click it once to turn the welder on, and it stays on until you click it again to turn it off.

This functionality is a game-changer for welders who perform long, continuous welds. By not having to apply constant pressure to the trigger, you can focus entirely on your puddle control, travel speed, and torch angle. This leads to cleaner, more consistent welds and significantly less hand fatigue at the end of the day. It is a direct replacement for standard momentary switches found in many Ergo handles, offering a quick and easy way to customize your torch to your personal preference.

The switch is built tough to handle the shop environment. It resists dust and debris ingress and provides a solid, positive "click" that you can feel through your TIG gloves. Installation is simple—just pop out the old module and snap this one in (checking your wiring connections as needed). It is compatible with a wide range of TIG torches that use the popular Ergo handle design, making it a versatile part for any welding shop.

Why Choose a Maintained Switch?

  • Comfort: Relax your hand during long welds; no need to squeeze the trigger continuously.
  • Stability: Less muscle tension in your hand means a steadier torch and better bead appearance.
  • Durability: Designed by Parker for long service life and reliable performance.
  • Convenience: Easy to swap out with existing switch modules in Ergo handles.

Don't let a faulty switch or hand fatigue slow you down. The PER1MT Single Maintained Switch is the reliable, ergonomic upgrade your TIG torch needs. Keep one in your toolbox so you are always ready to weld comfortably and efficiently.

FAQ

A momentary switch must be held down to keep the arc on. A maintained (or latching) switch stays on after being pressed once and turns off only when pressed again.

No, this switch is designed specifically for 'Ergo' style TIG torch handles. It will not fit standard round handles or other proprietary handle shapes.

No, the PER1MT is a single-button switch module.

Yes, it is a Parker product and is fully compatible with Parker Ergo series handles.

While 4T mode on a welder mimics a latching function electronically, this switch provides a mechanical latching action. It is typically used with the machine in 2T mode to simulate a 4T feel mechanically.

The switch module typically snaps into the recess on the Ergo handle. You will need to connect the control leads to the switch terminals.

This item is usually just the switch module itself. The control cable is typically part of the torch cable assembly or sold separately.
