OVERVIEW

Restore Your Machine's Performance with Genuine ESAB Parts

Is your welding machine's output terminal overheating or feeling loose? A worn-out panel socket is more than just an annoyance; it's a performance killer. The ESAB OKC Female Panel Contact 120mm² is the direct replacement you need to get your power source back to 100%. Over time, the constant twisting and pulling of welding leads can wear down the internal contact surfaces of your machine's sockets. This wear creates resistance, which generates heat—heat that can melt insulation, damage your machine's internal wiring, and cause your arc to sputter or lose power.

This heavy-duty female connector is built to handle the heat. Designed for thick 120mm² cables (roughly equivalent to 4/0 AWG), it is ready for your most demanding high-amperage jobs. The "OKC" style connection is the industry standard for a reason: it's quick, it's secure, and it works. With a simple push and twist, your welding lead is locked in tight, ensuring that every amp your machine produces makes it to the puddle. No more wiggling the cable to get a connection; just plug in and weld with confidence.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic machine maintenance. The panel-mount design fits standard cutouts on ESAB and compatible machines, allowing you to swap out a burnt or damaged socket in minutes. By maintaining a solid connection at the power source, you protect your expensive welding cables from heat damage and ensure a smoother, more consistent arc. Don't let a cheap or worn-out connector compromise your welds.

Why choose this connector?

  • Safety: High-quality insulation protects you from shocks.
  • Durability: Brass and copper components resist corrosion and arcing.
  • Performance: Rated for 120mm² cable, meaning it won't bottleneck your power.

Keep your shop running smoothly and your arc stable with this essential replacement part.

FAQ

This connector is rated for welding cables with a cross-sectional area of up to 120mm².

This is a female panel contact, designed to accept a male cable connector.

This is a panel-mount connector, meaning it is designed to be mounted on the face of a welding machine or panel, not on the end of a loose cable.

It uses the OKC / Dinse-style bayonet locking mechanism, which secures with a push and a twist.

While it is an ESAB part, OKC connectors are a standard size. If your machine uses standard large-format bayonet panel sockets, this may fit, but check the mounting dimensions first.

Heat usually indicates a loose connection or corrosion inside the socket, creating electrical resistance. Replacing it with a new unit like this one should solve the problem.

Typically, these panel contacts include the necessary nut and insulating washers for installation.

Yes, the connector is identical for both positive and negative outputs; color coding is usually handled by the machine's faceplate or separate colored rings.
