OVERVIEW

Reliable Quick Connects for Your Welding Leads

Every welder knows the frustration of short leads or the hassle of dragging heavy cables around the shop when you don't need the full length. The LC-40R Red Cable Connector Set is the standard solution for creating modular, extendable welding leads. Whether you are running 1/0, 2/0, or 3/0 cable, these connectors give you the freedom to add or remove cable lengths in seconds. No more bolting and unbolting lugs; just plug, twist, and weld.

These are the classic "Lenco-style" connectors that have been a staple in the industry for decades. They feature a simple but effective cam-lock mechanism. You just push the two ends together and give them a quarter turn. The cam pulls the brass contacts tight against each other, ensuring you get the full power of your machine at the arc without your connection getting hot. The red covers are tough—they can take being stepped on, dragged across concrete, and exposed to sparks without cracking or falling apart.

Installation is a breeze and can be done right in the field with a hex key. Strip your cable, wrap it in the provided copper shim (to protect the strands), slide it into the brass body, and crank down the set screw. Slide the rubber cover over the assembly, and you are ready to go. The red color is great for marking your positive lead or just keeping your gear organized. Rated for 500 amps, these connectors can handle the heat of almost any stick, MIG, or TIG job you throw at them.

FAQ

The LC-40R is designed to fit welding cables ranging from #1 gauge up to 3/0 gauge.

This connector is rated for up to 500 Amps, depending on the cable size used and the duty cycle.

Generally, no. The LC-40 is a Lenco-style cam-lock connector. Tweco typically uses a different MPC style. They are not interchangeable unless you use a specific adapter.

Strip the cable insulation, wrap the copper shim around the exposed strands, insert into the brass body, and tighten the large set screw with an Allen wrench.

The red covers are typically used to identify the positive lead or a specific circuit, helping you avoid polarity mix-ups when setting up your machine.

Yes, the LC-40R set includes one male connector and one female connector, along with the covers and screws for both.

It is not recommended. 4/0 cable is usually too thick for the LC-40 bore. You would typically need an LC-40HD or a larger connector for 4/0 cable.

The covers are made of a durable, flexible rubber compound that resists cracking and impact.
