674570 - ESAB 22-18 AWG Crimp Contact for Control Plugs

Precision Electrical Contacts for Industrial Welding Equipment

The ESAB 674570 Connector Contact is a specialized electrical component designed for the maintenance and repair of control cabling systems within the ESAB welding ecosystem. Engineered to accommodate wire gauges ranging from 22 to 18 AWG, this contact pin is an essential element in the assembly and refurbishment of multi-pin circular connectors, such as those found on remote controls, foot pedals, and wire feeder interconnect cables. In the realm of industrial electronics, the integrity of the physical connection is paramount; a compromised contact can lead to signal degradation, intermittent operation, or complete communication failure between the power source and its peripherals.

Manufactured to strict OEM specifications, this contact utilizes high-grade conductive alloys to ensure minimal resistance and optimal signal fidelity. The crimp-style termination provides a gas-tight joint when processed with the appropriate tooling, offering superior mechanical strength compared to soldered connections, particularly in environments subject to high vibration and thermal fluctuation. This is critical in heavy industrial welding applications where equipment is frequently moved, dragged, and subjected to harsh physical conditions. The 22-18 AWG range covers the standard signal wire sizes used in most low-voltage control circuits, making this a versatile part for various connector configurations.

Technicians and maintenance personnel rely on genuine ESAB parts like the 674570 to maintain the reliability of their fleet. Whether rebuilding a damaged 14-pin Amphenol plug or fabricating a custom extension cable for a specialized automation setup, using the correct contact pin ensures that the connector housing seats the terminal correctly, maintaining the IP rating and mechanical locking integrity of the plug. This component is supplied as a single unit, allowing for precise inventory management for specific repair jobs or bulk stocking for service departments.
