OVERVIEW

Restore Your Torch's Performance with the ESAB Single Button Switch

When your plasma cutting equipment is down, every minute counts. The ESAB Switch Single Button N.O. (0558005512) is a critical replacement component designed to get your ESAB plasma torch back in action. Over time, the mechanical trigger switch in a torch handle can wear out due to repetitive use, dust ingress, or accidental damage. A failing switch often results in intermittent arc starts or a complete inability to initiate the cut, which can be frustrating and costly in a production environment.

This genuine OEM part is engineered specifically for ESAB equipment, ensuring that the dimensions, electrical rating, and tactile feel match the original factory specifications. Unlike generic switches that may require modification or soldering to fit, this unit is designed for a direct drop-in replacement for compatible torch models, such as the PT-31 series. The "Normally Open" (N.O.) configuration means the circuit remains open until the button is depressed, which is the standard safety and operational mode for most manual plasma cutting torches.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of maintaining your equipment with high-quality parts. Using genuine ESAB components protects the integrity of your machine and ensures operator safety. Whether you are repairing a torch in a small fabrication shop or maintaining a fleet of cutters in an industrial setting, this switch provides the reliability you need. It is a small but essential part that restores the crisp, responsive control required for precision metal cutting.

Key Benefits

  • Direct Fit: Designed by ESAB for ESAB torches, eliminating compatibility guesswork.
  • Reliable Operation: High-quality internal contacts ensure consistent arc initiation every time.
  • Cost-Effective Repair: Replace just the faulty switch rather than the entire torch handle or assembly.

Don't let a sticky or broken trigger slow you down. Keep a spare ESAB 0558005512 switch in your maintenance kit to minimize downtime and keep your projects moving forward.

While some TIG torches use similar switches, this specific part number is primarily associated with ESAB plasma torches. You should verify the spare parts list for your specific TIG torch before purchasing.

Symptoms of a bad switch include intermittent arc starting, the arc cutting out while the button is still held, or the torch failing to start at all despite the machine being powered on.

Installation methods vary by torch model. Some switches have screw terminals or spade connectors, while others may require soldering wires. Consult your torch's service manual for specific instructions.

Typically, this part number refers to the internal electrical switch mechanism itself. The external plastic button or trigger lever is usually a separate part of the torch handle assembly.
