91101122 - Tweco A-532 Tong Style Electrode Holder - 200A - Pack of 2

Technical Overview of the Tweco A-532 Electrode Holder

The Tweco 9110-1122 (Model A-532) is a professional-grade electrode holder designed for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). This SKU represents a master pack containing two (2) complete units, offering a cost-effective solution for industrial procurement and inventory management. The A-532 is rated for 200 Amperes at a 60% duty cycle, making it suitable for light to medium fabrication tasks. It is engineered to accommodate welding electrodes up to 5/32 inch (4.0 mm) in diameter.

Constructed with high-conductivity copper alloy jaws, the holder ensures minimal resistance and maximum arc stability. The jaw design features a 6-position pattern, allowing welders to orient the electrode at various angles to access difficult joints. A key maintenance feature of the Tweco Tong line is the use of reversible top and bottom insulators. Made from a rugged fiberglass compound, these insulators can be flipped to extend their service life before requiring replacement, thereby reducing long-term consumable costs.

The cable connection utilizes Tweco's proven ball-point mechanical connection system, which secures the welding cable firmly while ensuring optimal electrical contact. This model supports cable sizes up to 2/0. The handle is ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in the operator's hand, providing both thermal insulation and impact resistance. The internal spring and hinge pin are fully insulated to prevent accidental arcing when the holder is placed on grounded surfaces.
