23601944 - ESAB 97-3057-12-6 Connector Strain Relief Clamp

Secure Connections with the ESAB Cable Clamp 97-3057-12-6

The ESAB Cable Clamp (Part No. 97-3057-12-6) is an essential component for maintaining the integrity of your welding equipment's electrical connections. Designed to fit standard circular connectors—specifically the widely used 97 Series—this clamp provides robust strain relief that is critical for the longevity of your cables. In the demanding environment of a welding shop or industrial site, cables connected to wire feeders, remote controls, and foot pedals are constantly dragged, pulled, and twisted. Without proper strain relief, these mechanical forces are transferred directly to the delicate solder or crimp joints inside the connector housing, leading to intermittent failures or complete cable breakage.

Constructed from high-quality die-cast zinc alloy, this clamp is built to withstand impact and corrosion. It screws securely onto the rear threads of compatible connector shells (sizes 20 and 22) using a standard 1-3/16-18 thread. Once installed, the clamp tightens down on the cable jacket, effectively anchoring the cable to the connector shell. This ensures that any tension applied to the cable is absorbed by the rugged housing rather than the internal wiring. Whether you are repairing a damaged control cable or assembling a new interface for your ESAB welding machine, this OEM-quality part ensures a professional and reliable termination.

Using the correct cable clamp is not just about durability; it is also a safety measure. Loose wires inside a connector can short out, potentially damaging expensive circuit boards within your power source or causing unexpected machine behavior. The ESAB 97-3057-12-6 clamp minimizes this risk by keeping everything tightly secured. It is a small investment that prevents costly downtime and equipment repairs.
