OVERVIEW

Reliable Arc Control for TIG Welding

The 58N17 Lever Switch is a critical component for TIG welders who require precise manual control over their arc initiation. Designed as a direct replacement for standard TIG torch handles, this micro-switch assembly offers a dependable solution for on/off contactor control. Unlike foot pedals, which limit mobility and are often impractical for out-of-position welding, this handle-mounted switch allows the operator to trigger the welding arc with a simple press of a finger. This capability is essential for field work, climbing applications, or welding in tight spaces where foot control is impossible.

Engineered for durability and consistency, the switch features a robust lever mechanism that provides clear tactile feedback, ensuring the welder knows exactly when the circuit is engaged. The assembly is compatible with a wide range of industry-standard TIG torch handles, making it a versatile spare part for maintenance and repair operations. Whether you are refurbishing an older torch or customizing a new setup for specific project requirements, the 58N17 ensures seamless integration and reliable performance.

Installation is straightforward, typically involving securing the switch housing to the torch handle and connecting the lead wires to the welding machine's remote control receptacle. Once installed, it provides immediate response for high-frequency or lift-arc starting methods. By maintaining a stock of these essential switches, maintenance teams can minimize downtime caused by switch failure and ensure that welding operations continue smoothly and efficiently.

FAQ

It serves as a momentary on/off switch to initiate and terminate the welding arc directly from the torch handle.

No, this is a simple on/off switch. Amperage control requires a potentiometer or a separate remote device.

It is compatible with most industry-standard TIG torch handles that accept a lever-style micro switch.

The switch typically snaps into the handle or is secured with tape/ties, and the wires are routed through the cable cover to the machine plug.

Yes, it replaces the on/off function of a foot pedal, which is ideal for welding in positions where a pedal cannot be used.

The 58N17 is typically a Normally Open (NO) switch, closing the circuit when pressed.

This SKU usually refers to the switch assembly itself; wiring harnesses may be sold separately or attached depending on the specific kit.

This is an industry-standard part compatible with major brands like Weldcraft, CK Worldwide, and others.
