OVERVIEW

Secure Your Leads with the K3417-70 Receptacle

For welders out in the field or on the shop floor, your welding leads are your lifeline. The Lincoln Electric K3417-70 Tweco-Style Receptacle (Female) is built to keep that lifeline secure. Designed to fit 1/0 through 2/0 welding cables, this connector is the perfect solution for extending your reach or replacing worn-out connectors on your existing leads. We know that in a busy shop, compatibility is king. That's why this receptacle utilizes the classic Tweco-style connection geometry, making it compatible with a vast array of male connectors already in circulation. You won't have to worry about proprietary mismatches; just twist, lock, and weld.

The K3417-70 isn't just about fitting in; it's about performing. The female receptacle creates a tight, conductive bond with the male plug, minimizing resistance and heat buildup at the joint. This means you get the full amperage your machine is putting out, right at the arc where you need it. The twist-lock design is a favorite among welders for a reason: it stays put. Whether you are dragging leads across a concrete floor, up scaffolding, or around structural steel, the connection remains secure, preventing accidental unplugging that can interrupt your bead and ruin your rhythm.

Safety and longevity are built into the design. The heavy-duty insulator protects you from electrical shock and shields the connector from the inevitable sparks, spatter, and grime of the job site. It is tough enough to handle the rough treatment of daily use in sectors like construction, mining, and pipeline work. When your cables are frayed or your old connectors are arcing out, swapping them for a fresh Lincoln K3417-70 is a quick and cost-effective way to restore your equipment's performance.

This unit is sold as a single female receptacle, ready to be attached to your 1/0 or 2/0 cable. The installation process is simple and requires only standard hand tools, allowing you to get back to burning rod or laying wire in no time. Don't let a loose or overheating connection slow you down. Upgrade your cable management with the reliability of Lincoln Electric and the versatility of the Tweco style.
