OVERVIEW

Reliable Plasma Cutting Consumables for Hypertherm Systems

Maximize the efficiency of your plasma cutting operations with this high-quality replacement electrode, designed specifically for Hypertherm PAC123 and PAC125 torches. In the demanding world of industrial metal fabrication, the reliability of your consumables directly impacts downtime and cut quality. This electrode, a direct replacement for OEM part number 120573, is engineered to meet rigorous standards, ensuring that your equipment performs at its peak without the premium price tag associated with original manufacturer parts.

Constructed from high-grade copper, this electrode features a precisely inserted hafnium emitter. Hafnium is the industry standard for air plasma cutting due to its ability to withstand intense heat and emit electrons efficiently. This composition ensures a stable arc, clean cuts, and a service life that rivals OEM equivalents. Whether you are cutting mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, consistent arc starting and stability are guaranteed, reducing the need for rework and secondary grinding.

Regular maintenance of your plasma torch is critical for safety and performance. The electrode is the primary wear part in the torch head and conducts the high current required to generate the plasma arc. Over time, the hafnium insert erodes, creating a pit. Replacing the electrode before this pit exceeds manufacturer specifications (typically 1/16 inch) is vital to prevent catastrophic failure that could damage the torch head itself. By choosing this cost-effective replacement, you can afford to maintain a stricter replacement schedule, thereby protecting your valuable torch investment and ensuring consistent production quality.

Josef Gas is committed to providing industrial clients with top-tier welding and cutting solutions. This 120573-style electrode is an excellent choice for workshops looking to optimize their operational costs while maintaining high standards of fabrication. It fits seamlessly into the PAC123 and PAC125 torch assemblies found on older Hypertherm systems like the MAX40, breathing new life into reliable equipment.

FAQ

This electrode is designed to fit Hypertherm PAC123 and PAC125 plasma torches.

Inspect the center of the electrode face. If the hafnium pit is deeper than 1/16" (approx. 1mm), it should be replaced immediately to prevent torch damage.

No, this is a high-quality aftermarket replacement part manufactured by American Torch Tip (or similar) to meet or exceed OEM specifications.

This part is a direct replacement for Hypertherm part number 120573.

It is constructed from high-quality copper with a hafnium insert, which is standard for air plasma cutting electrodes.

This is a standard cutting electrode. While it may physically fit, you should check your torch manual for specific gouging consumables if you intend to perform gouging operations.

No, the PAC123/125 torches are older models. Powermax systems typically use Duramax torches which require different consumables.

Hafnium is an element that emits electrons easily and can withstand the high temperatures of the plasma arc in an oxygen or air atmosphere, making it essential for the electrode's function.
