214-12 - Tregaskiss 214-12 Power Pin - Tweco #5 Style Connection

Industrial Grade Connection for Tweco #5 Feeders

The Tregaskiss 214-12 Power Pin is a critical component designed to interface Tregaskiss MIG welding guns with wire feeders equipped with Tweco #5 receptacles. In high-production industrial environments, the integrity of the connection between the gun and the feeder is paramount. This power pin is engineered to provide a robust mechanical and electrical link, ensuring that welding current is transferred efficiently from the power source to the consumable electrode. Manufactured from high-grade brass alloy, it offers superior conductivity, which minimizes voltage drop and heat generation at the connection point, factors that are essential for maintaining a stable arc and consistent weld quality.

Precision machining ensures that the 214-12 fits snugly into standard Tweco #5 feeder ports. This tight tolerance is vital not only for electrical continuity but also for the shielding gas path. The pin comes equipped with high-quality O-rings that create a positive seal, preventing gas leaks that could lead to porosity in the weld metal. For maintenance and repair operations (MRO), replacing a worn or pitted power pin is a standard procedure to restore the performance of a MIG gun. Over time, arcing or mechanical wear can degrade the contact surfaces; installing a fresh 214-12 restores the gun's ability to handle high amperages without overheating.

Installation is straightforward, featuring a threaded design that screws directly into the rear power cable block of compatible Tregaskiss TOUGH GUN models. This modularity allows shops to adapt their existing fleet of Tregaskiss guns to different feeder types simply by swapping the power pin, providing flexibility in mixed-equipment environments. Whether for heavy fabrication, automotive manufacturing, or general structural steel work, the Tregaskiss 214-12 ensures your equipment remains operational and efficient.
