94170184 - Arcair Replacement Power Connector 94-170-184

Arcair 94170184 Power Connector: OEM Replacement for Gouging Torches

The Arcair 94170184 Power Connector is a critical replacement component designed for Arcair carbon arc gouging torch assemblies. In the demanding environment of air carbon-arc cutting and gouging, the electrical connection between the power cable and the torch body is subject to extreme thermal cycling and mechanical stress. Over time, this can lead to oxidation, pitting, or deformation of the connector, resulting in increased electrical resistance and voltage drop. This genuine Arcair part restores the electrical integrity of the system, ensuring efficient power transfer and preventing localized overheating that can damage the torch handle and internal components.

Manufactured from high-conductivity copper alloy, the 94-170-184 connector is engineered to handle the high amperage loads typical of gouging applications. It provides a secure mechanical termination for the power cable, ensuring a low-resistance path for the welding current. This is essential for maintaining a stable arc and achieving consistent metal removal rates. The precision machining ensures a tight fit within the torch assembly, preventing arcing at the connection point which is a common cause of premature torch failure.

Regular inspection and maintenance of the power train are vital for the longevity of gouging equipment. If the existing connector shows signs of heat discoloration, thread damage, or excessive wear, immediate replacement is recommended. This component is compatible with specific Arcair torch models (verify part number against equipment manual) and is designed for straightforward installation. By using OEM parts, operators ensure compliance with safety standards and maintain the original performance specifications of their Arcair gouging system.
