0465734880 - ESAB 3m Welding Lead Set - 16mm² Cable with OKC 50 Connectors

Technical Overview of the ESAB 0465734880 Cable Set

The ESAB 0465734880 is a complete welding cable assembly kit designed for Manual Metal Arc (MMA) welding applications. This set is engineered to provide reliable power transmission for portable welding inverters and light-industrial power sources. The kit comprises two primary assemblies: a welding lead fitted with a high-quality electrode holder and a return lead fitted with a robust earth clamp. Both cables measure 3 meters in length, providing sufficient reach for bench work, maintenance repairs, and on-site fabrication tasks where equipment mobility is key.

Technically, the cables feature a cross-sectional area of 16mm², which is optimized for lower to medium amperage ranges typically found in compact inverter machines (often rated up to approximately 150-200 amps depending on duty cycle). The conductors are manufactured from high-grade multi-stranded copper, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and minimizing voltage drop across the arc. The insulation is composed of a durable, heat-resistant rubber compound that maintains flexibility even in colder working environments while offering protection against oil, grease, and mechanical abrasion common in industrial settings.

A critical specification of this cable set is the termination. Both leads are terminated with OKC 50 connectors. The OKC 50 is a standard bayonet-style connector (compatible with 50mm² Dinse-style sockets) widely used on professional welding equipment. This ensures that the ESAB 0465734880 is compatible not only with ESAB's own range of Caddy and Origo machines but also with any power source featuring standard OKC 50 output terminals. This universality makes it an excellent stock item for MRO inventories and repair depots.
