OVERVIEW

Genuine ESAB Replacement Switch for TXH Torches

The ESAB 0460185880 Pressbutton is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the TXH series of TIG welding torches. In industrial environments, the trigger mechanism of a TIG torch is subject to constant repetitive use, mechanical stress, and exposure to workshop debris. Over time, the internal contacts or the physical button mechanism can wear out, leading to intermittent arc starts or failure to initiate the arc entirely. This OEM replacement part allows maintenance teams and operators to repair the torch handle efficiently, extending the service life of the equipment without the capital expense of a full torch replacement.

Manufactured to ESAB's precise tolerances, this press button assembly fits seamlessly into the ergonomic handle of TXH models. It ensures that the electrical signal for gas pre-flow, arc initiation, and current control is transmitted reliably to the power source. Using genuine ESAB parts guarantees that the tactile feedback and travel distance of the switch remain consistent with the manufacturer's original specifications, maintaining the safety and performance standards expected from high-quality TIG equipment.

Installation is straightforward, designed to minimize downtime in production environments. Whether for a water-cooled or air-cooled TXH model, this switch module is the exact component required to restore full functionality. It is an essential spare part for MRO inventories supporting ESAB welding fleets.

FAQ

This press button is designed for the ESAB TXH series of TIG torches. Please check your specific torch manual or parts breakdown to confirm compatibility with your model variant.

Yes, this is the genuine OEM ESAB part number 0460185880.

Typically, this part number refers to the plastic press button mechanism itself. The microswitch and cabling are often separate or integrated depending on the specific sub-assembly. Consult the diagram for your torch.

The button usually snaps into the torch handle housing. You may need to open the handle shell to position it correctly over the switch mechanism.

Dirt, dust, or mechanical wear can cause the button to stick. Replacing the press button and cleaning the housing often resolves this issue.

No, this is molded specifically for the ergonomics and housing of ESAB TXH handles and will likely not fit other brands.

The TXH series includes both air and water-cooled models; this button is generally compatible with the handle design used across the series.

This is a standard on/off press button. Amperage control usually requires a separate potentiometer module or a different switch setup.
