0154200003 - Arcair A6 Contact Jaw 1/2 Inch Electrode Holder

Keep Your A6 Running Full Steam

If you are running an Arcair A6 automatic gouging system, you know that it is a beast of a machine designed to move a lot of metal fast. But even the toughest systems have wear parts, and your contact jaw is one of the most important. The Arcair Contact Jaw 1/2 A6 is the direct replacement part you need when you are running 1/2-inch carbons. When you are gouging all day, that jaw takes a beating from the heat and the electrical current. Over time, the inside gets worn out, and you lose that tight connection with the carbon.

Why does that matter? A loose or worn jaw means bad contact. Bad contact means resistance, and resistance means heat—heat in the wrong place. If your jaw is worn, you might notice your arc getting sputtering or your torch head getting hotter than usual. In worst-case scenarios, you can melt down your torch head components. Swapping in a fresh contact jaw restores that crisp, stable arc you need for clean, consistent U-grooves. It ensures the power goes into blowing away metal, not cooking your equipment.

This is a genuine Arcair part, meaning it fits right the first time without fighting the assembly. It is made from heavy-duty copper to stand up to the high amps your A6 pulls. Don't let a small part shut down your automation line. Keep a spare 1/2" contact jaw on the shelf so you can swap it out during maintenance and keep the sparks flying.
