OVERVIEW

Solid Connections for Serious Welding

You know the frustration of a loose cable connection—the arc sputters, the handle gets hot, and you lose valuable time fixing it. Put an end to those issues with the Tweco 2-MPC Male Cable Connector. This is the legendary "Tweco connector" that welders have trusted for decades. Designed to fit your standard 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0 AWG cables, this male plug gives you a rock-solid connection that won't let go until you want it to.

Built for the Field: The 2-MPC features a simple but effective ball-point screw design. You don't need a hydraulic crimper to install it—just an Allen wrench. Strip your cable, slide it in with the copper shim, and crank it down. The ball-point screw drives into the strands, creating a high-pressure contact that handles the heat. Once installed, the heavy-duty boot slides over to protect the connection from the sparks, grime, and abuse of the shop floor.

Quick and Secure: When you're running long leads across a site, you need to be able to add or remove extensions fast. The Tweco cam-lock action is smooth and positive. A quick twist locks the male and female ends together, so you can drag your leads around corners and over obstacles without them popping apart. Whether you are repairing a broken lead or building a new set of extensions, trust the Tweco 9425-1226 to keep the power flowing to your puddle.

FAQ

The Tweco 2-MPC (9425-1226) is designed to accept welding cables sized 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0 AWG.

This part (9425-1226) is the Male connector. It mates with the 2-FPC Female connector.

No, the 2-MPC uses a mechanical ball-point screw connection. You only need a hex key (Allen wrench) to install it securely.

Yes, the connector comes complete with the brass body, the insulating boot (cover), the ball-point screw, and a copper shim.

While it can physically fit, these mechanical connectors are optimized for copper cable. Aluminum cable typically requires compression (crimp) lugs and anti-oxidant compound to prevent loosening and overheating.

The Tweco MPC series uses a cam-action lock. Simply push the male and female ends together and twist approximately one-half turn to lock them securely.

The amperage rating depends largely on the cable size used, but the 2-MPC series is generally suitable for applications up to approximately 450-500 amps when used with 3/0 cable.
