96051101 - Tweco 2-MPC Male Cable Connector (1/0 - 2/0 AWG)

Reliable Connections for Professional Welders

When you are out on the job, your welding leads are your lifeline. A loose or faulty connection doesn't just ruin a weld; it creates heat, drops voltage, and can even be a safety hazard. The Tweco 2-MPC Male Cable Connector (Part #9605-1101) is the industry standard for a reason—it works as hard as you do. Designed to fit 1/0 and 2/0 welding cables, this connector gives you the freedom to extend your leads or swap out stingers and ground clamps in seconds. No more wrestling with bolted lugs or worrying about tape peeling off; just plug, twist, and weld.

The magic of the Tweco MPC system is in the lock. When you mate this male connector with a female counterpart, you feel a solid engagement. The cam-lock action pulls the two halves together tightly, ensuring that the current flows smoothly from your machine to your arc. This means you get a stable arc and consistent heat, which is critical for passing x-ray quality welds. The heavy-duty rubber cover is built to take a beating—drop it, drag it through metal shavings, or step on it, and it keeps on protecting the brass core inside. It’s designed to resist oil, grease, and the sparks that fly in a busy shop.

Installation is a breeze, even if you are on a job site with limited tools. You don't need a soldering iron or a hydraulic crimper. Just strip your 1/0 or 2/0 cable, insert it into the brass body, and tighten the ball-point screw with an Allen wrench. The ball-point screw is a small detail that makes a huge difference; it mashes the copper strands together into a solid block for maximum conductivity without cutting them. Whether you are building a new set of leads or fixing a broken cable in the field, the Tweco 9605-1101 is the connector you want in your toolbox. It turns a bundle of copper wire into a professional, modular welding system.
