0559210006 - ESAB 300-400 Amp Stick Electrode Holder

Technical Overview

The ESAB 300A/400A Mild Steel Electrode Holder (SKU: 0559210006) is a robust accessory designed for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). Engineered to handle amperage loads between 300 and 400 amps, this holder is suitable for medium to heavy-duty industrial fabrication environments. The unit is constructed to provide a secure mechanical and electrical connection to stick electrodes, minimizing resistance and heat buildup at the jaw.

Manufactured in the United States, this holder features high-quality insulation materials to protect the operator from electrical shock and excessive heat transfer. The jaw design is optimized to grip standard diameter welding rods firmly in various positions, allowing for versatility in out-of-position welding. Its current rating makes it compatible with a wide range of welding power sources, from shop-based rectifiers to portable engine-driven welders.

The reference to "Mild Steel" in the product title indicates its primary application compatibility, serving as the interface for mild steel stick electrodes commonly used in structural steel, maintenance, and repair operations. Regular maintenance of the jaw contact surfaces is recommended to maintain optimal conductivity and performance.
