OVERVIEW

Reliable Connections for Serious Welders

When you're dragging cable across the shop floor or up scaffolding, the last thing you need is a connector that pops apart or overheats. The Tweco 2-1-MPC Male Cable Connector (9425-1247) is the industry standard for a reason—it stays connected and keeps the power flowing. Designed to fit 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0 AWG cables, this Size 2 connector is the perfect choice for building extension leads or replacing worn-out ends on your stinger whip.

Why Welders Trust Tweco MPC:

  • Solid Lock: The cam-action design means once you twist it, it stays locked. No more taping connectors together to keep them from pulling apart mid-weld.
  • Cooler Running: The ball-point screw connection digs in tight (without cutting strands) for excellent conductivity. Less resistance means less heat at the joint and more power at the arc.
  • Tough Build: The heavy-duty cover can take a beating. Drop it, drag it, or step on it—it’s built to survive the daily grind of a welding shop.

Installation is quick and easy with a simple hex key. Just strip your cable, insert it into the brass body, tighten the ball-point screw, and slide the cover on. This male connector pairs with any Size 2 female Tweco-style connector, giving you the flexibility to extend your reach whenever the job demands it. Don't settle for cheap knock-offs that arc and melt; stick with the original Tweco MPC for a connection you can count on.

FAQ

This connector is designed for 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0 AWG welding cables.

This is the Male half (2-1-MPC). It requires a Female counterpart (2-2-MPC) to form a complete connection.

Yes, the connector includes the brass body, the ball-point screw, the copper shim, and the heavy-duty insulating cover.

No, for 4/0 cable you should use the Size 4 connector (4-MPC series). This Size 2 connector is too small for 4/0.

Strip the cable insulation, wrap the copper shim around the strands, insert into the connector body, and tighten the ball-point screw with a hex key. Then slide the cover over the assembly.

Yes, it is compatible with other standard Tweco-style MPC connectors of the same size (Size 2).

While ratings vary by cable size, Tweco Size 2 connectors are generally rated for applications up to approximately 450 Amps depending on duty cycle.

The input name likely refers to a legacy naming convention or error. The SKU 9425-1247 strictly corresponds to the Size 2 (1/0-3/0) connector.
