Reliable Connections for Professional Welders

When you are out on the job or deep in a fabrication project, the last thing you need is a loose connection causing arc instability or a hot cable plug melting in your hand. The ESAB OKC 50 Male Cable Connector is built to solve those problems. Designed for welders who demand reliability, this connector provides a rock-solid link between your welding machine and your leads. Whether you are building a new set of cables or replacing a damaged plug on your existing stinger or ground lead, the OKC 50 is the professional's choice for 35mm² to 50mm² cables.

The beauty of the OKC system lies in its simplicity and durability. The bayonet-style twist-lock action means you can connect and disconnect your cables in seconds with a simple quarter-turn. Once locked, it stays locked, even if you drag your cables across the shop floor. The heavy-duty rubber boot is tough enough to withstand being stepped on, dropped, or exposed to sparks and spatter, yet it remains flexible enough to prevent strain on the cable connection point. This flexibility is crucial for preventing the copper wire from breaking inside the plug due to repetitive bending.

Electrical efficiency is at the heart of this design. A poor connection creates resistance, which steals power from your arc and generates dangerous heat. The ESAB OKC 50 uses high-quality brass components to ensure that every amp your machine puts out makes it to the puddle. This means smoother starts, a more consistent arc, and less frustration for you. It is compatible with most standard welding machines that use the 50-series (approx. 1/2 inch diameter pin) sockets, making it a versatile addition to your tool kit.

Safety is also a major benefit. The fully insulated rubber housing protects you from electrical shock, and the secure fit prevents arcing at the terminal which can damage your machine's front panel. Upgrading to genuine ESAB connectors is a small investment that pays off in equipment longevity and welding performance. Don't let a cheap plug ruin your weld; trust the ESAB OKC 50 to keep the power flowing.
