96051103 - Tweco 2-MPC-1 Cable Splicer for 1/0-2/0 Cable

Tweco 2-MPC-1 Mechanical Cable Splicer

The Tweco 9605-1103 (Model 2-MPC-1) is a premium mechanical cable splicer designed for joining 1/0 and 2/0 AWG welding cables. Engineered for superior conductivity and mechanical strength, this splicer utilizes a highly efficient ball-point screw design. Unlike standard set screws that can shear off cable strands and reduce current carrying capacity, the ball-point screws apply high pressure to the cable bundle without cutting into the individual copper strands. This results in a connection that offers maximum surface area contact, reducing electrical resistance and minimizing heat buildup at the joint.

Constructed from a high-conductivity copper alloy, the body of the splicer is built to handle the high amperage loads typical of industrial welding processes. The 2-MPC-1 is rated to match the amperage capacity of the cables it connects, ensuring that the splice does not become a bottleneck in your welding circuit. The mechanical connection allows for easy installation using only a hex key and a cable stripper. This eliminates the need for soldering or specialized crimping tools, making it an ideal solution for field repairs where equipment may be limited. The screws are easily accessible, allowing for retightening or disassembly if the cable configuration needs to be changed.

The assembly includes a rugged, impact-resistant insulating cover. This cover is designed to slide over the metal connector body, locking securely in place to provide complete electrical isolation. The material of the cover is resistant to oil, grease, and abrasion, ensuring long-term performance in harsh shop environments. The tapered ends of the cover help to prevent snagging when the cable is dragged around corners or over obstacles. This ergonomic design feature protects both the connection and the cable jacket from stress.

For professional welders, the integrity of the welding circuit is non-negotiable. A poor splice can cause arc instability, spatter, and inconsistent penetration. The Tweco 2-MPC-1 ensures that your extension leads perform as if they were a single continuous cable. It is compatible with all standard copper welding cables within the 1/0 to 2/0 size range. Whether used for stick, MIG, or TIG welding setups, this splicer delivers the reliability and performance associated with the Tweco brand. It is a critical component for extending leads for shipyard work, construction sites, and large fabrication floors where equipment mobility is essential.
