OVERVIEW

Connect 14-Pin Accessories to 22-Pin Welders

Upgrade your welding setup's versatility with the Lincoln Electric K2681-1 Cable Adapter. In the diverse world of welding equipment, matching pin configurations between power sources and accessories is a common challenge. The K2681-1 is the definitive solution for connecting 14-pin control cables—common on many wire feeders, remote controls, and foot pedals—to Lincoln Electric power sources equipped with a 22-pin receptacle. This adapter ensures you aren't limited by plug types, allowing you to use your preferred peripherals with your heavy-duty Lincoln machines.

Extended Reach for Better Workflow
Most adapters are just a few inches long, but the K2681-1 distinguishes itself with a generous 18-foot (5.5-meter) length. This isn't just a converter; it acts as a short extension, giving you the freedom to set up your remote or feeder at a comfortable distance from the power source. This is ideal for welders working on large assemblies or in booths where the machine is stationary but the operator needs mobility. The extra length reduces strain on the connectors and prevents the accidental disconnection that can occur with shorter, tighter cables.

Built for the Shop Floor
Welding environments are tough on cables. The K2681-1 is built with a rugged jacket designed to resist cuts, scrapes, and oil, ensuring a long service life even in busy fabrication shops. The 22-pin and 14-pin connectors are precision-molded to fit securely, preventing signal loss that could affect wire feed speed or voltage control. A solid connection means consistent welds and less troubleshooting.

Plug-and-Play Simplicity
No tools or complex wiring diagrams are needed. Simply plug the 22-pin end into your Lincoln power source and connect your 14-pin accessory to the other end. It is an indispensable tool for shops with mixed equipment fleets or for mobile welders who need to adapt to different site machines. Keep your operations running smoothly and your equipment connected with this genuine Lincoln Electric accessory.
