OVERVIEW

Premium Connection for Industrial Welding Cables

The ESAB OKC Connector Male 25Mm2 (SKU: 0160360880) is a high-performance cable connector designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments. Engineered by ESAB, a global leader in welding and cutting equipment, this connector ensures a safe, reliable, and efficient electrical connection between the power source and the welding cable. The OKC series is renowned for its durability and ease of use, making it a standard choice for professionals who require consistent power delivery without the risk of overheating or voltage drop.

This specific model is sized for 25mm² welding cables, a common gauge for light to medium-duty welding applications. The connector features a male gender configuration, typically used on the cable end to plug into the machine's front panel or to extend an existing cable run via a female coupler. The core of the connector is manufactured from high-grade brass, which offers excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. This ensures that the full current from the welding machine reaches the arc, maintaining stability and weld quality.

Safety and longevity are paramount in the design of the ESAB OKC 25. The metal body is encased in a tough, flexible rubber sleeve. This insulation is not only electrically protective but also resistant to the harsh conditions found in workshops and jobsites, including exposure to oil, grease, ozone, and physical impact. The bayonet locking mechanism allows for a quick, quarter-turn connection that locks securely in place, preventing accidental disconnection during movement. For procurement specialists and facility managers, stocking genuine ESAB connectors like the 0160360880 guarantees compatibility and reliability across your fleet of welding equipment.

Installation is straightforward, requiring standard tools to strip the cable and secure it within the connector body. The design accommodates the stranded nature of welding cables, ensuring all strands are engaged for maximum current carrying capacity. Whether you are repairing damaged leads or fabricating new custom-length cables, the ESAB OKC 25 Male Connector provides the professional-grade quality necessary for safe and efficient operations.
