The AS-708-14-1 is a specialized replacement component designed for the maintenance and repair of industrial welding wire feeding systems. Specifically identified as a "Clutch Cord," this assembly serves as the critical electrical link between the welding power source/feeder and the gun assembly, typically utilized in push-pull MIG gun configurations where clutch engagement is necessary for wire tension control. The cord features a coiled geometry, which provides inherent retraction properties, allowing the cable to extend to its full 3-meter (approximately 10-foot) working length when tension is applied and retract to a compact form factor when released.
Constructed with industrial-grade insulation, the cable is engineered to withstand the harsh environments typical of metal fabrication shops, including exposure to metal shavings, dust, and incidental contact with rough surfaces. The internal conductors are sized to carry the specific control signals required for clutch actuation without significant voltage drop, ensuring precise operation of the wire feed mechanism. The coiled nature of the jacket also acts as a strain relief mechanism, distributing mechanical stress along the length of the cord rather than concentrating it at the termination points, thereby prolonging the service life of the connection terminals.
This component is essential for restoring the functionality of welding systems where the original control cable has suffered from fatigue, internal breaks, or insulation damage. Proper continuity in the clutch cord is vital for the synchronization of the push and pull motors in complex MIG welding setups, preventing wire bird-nesting and ensuring consistent arc stability. The 3-meter length offers a standard reach suitable for most bench and boom-mounted welding operations.
