OVERVIEW

Restore Your Plasma Cutter's Connectivity

The Thermal Dynamics 9-9668 ATC Connector Assembly is the essential interface between your Cutmaster power supply and the 1Torch plasma torch. Known as the "Advanced Torch Connector" (ATC), this quick-disconnect system revolutionized plasma cutting by allowing operators to switch torches or detach them for storage in seconds. Over time, the machine-side receptacle can suffer from wear, arcing, or thread damage, leading to poor connections, gas leaks, or failure to initiate an arc. This genuine OEM replacement assembly brings your machine back to factory specifications.

Designed specifically for the Cutmaster True Series (including models 52, 82, 102, and 152), this kit includes the complete receptacle block that mounts into the front panel of the power supply. It integrates the main cutting power, the pilot arc current, and the shield gas supply into a single, robust connection point. Installing this replacement ensures that your torch seats firmly, maintaining the necessary pressure for the gas check valve and the electrical continuity required for precision cutting.

Don't let a faulty connector compromise your cut quality or safety. A damaged connector can cause resistance heating, erratic arcs, or even damage to the torch lead itself. By installing the 9-9668 assembly, you ensure a leak-free pneumatic seal and a low-resistance electrical path. This kit comes pre-wired with the necessary leads and connectors to interface with the internal components of your plasma cutter, making the repair straightforward for qualified technicians.

FAQ

ATC stands for Advanced Torch Connector. It is a quick-disconnect system used by Thermal Dynamics that allows the plasma torch to be easily removed from the power supply.

This part (9-9668) is the machine-side receptacle. It mounts on the power supply. If you need the connector for the torch lead itself, that is a different part.

It is primarily designed for the Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster True Series, including the Cutmaster 52, 82, 102, and 152, as well as other ESAB/Thermal Dynamics machines that use the 1Torch ATC system.

Yes, the assembly typically comes with the wiring harness/leads attached to the back of the connector block to interface with the machine's internal components.

Common reasons for replacement include stripped threads on the connector ring, arcing damage to the electrical contacts, cracked housing from impact, or gas leaks at the connection point.

Installation requires opening the power supply case and working with internal wiring. It is recommended that this be performed by a qualified technician to ensure safety and proper machine operation.
