OVERVIEW

Lenco LC40HD Heavy Duty Cable Connector Set

The Lenco LC40HD is a premium cable connector set designed for industrial welding applications requiring robust power transmission and durability. Engineered to accommodate large gauge welding cables ranging from 3/0 to 4/0 AWG, this connector set is rated for 500 Amperes, making it suitable for high-output welding machines and heavy fabrication environments. The 'HD' designation signifies its Heavy Duty construction, optimized to withstand the rigors of daily shop use and harsh field conditions.

A defining feature of the LC40HD is its Double Oval-Point Screw cable connection mechanism. Unlike standard connectors that may rely on a single point of contact or ball-point screws, the double oval-point design provides a larger surface area of contact between the connector body and the copper cable strands. This ensures a secure mechanical bond that resists loosening due to thermal cycling or cable manipulation. Furthermore, the high-conductivity brass alloy body minimizes electrical resistance across the joint, effectively reducing voltage drop and preventing the connector from overheating during prolonged welding operations.

The external housing is molded from a specialized rubber compound that offers excellent resistance to heat, cold, abrasion, ozone, oils, and solvents. The connector utilizes a positive cam-action locking mechanism; a simple twist pulls the two halves together under high pressure, creating a near-solid electrical connection that will not vibrate loose. The LC40HD is fully compatible with other standard cam-lock connectors in the industry, allowing for seamless integration into existing cable assemblies. This set includes both the male and female halves, providing a complete solution for extending welding leads or creating quick-disconnect points at the power source.

FAQ

The LC40HD is designed for 3/0 (000) and 4/0 (0000) AWG welding cable.

It is rated for 500 Amps.

Yes, the set includes one male connector and one female connector.

Strip the cable insulation, insert the copper strands into the brass body, and tighten the two oval-point screws using the included Allen wrench.

Yes, the Lenco LC-40 series is generally compatible with Tweco MPC-4 style connectors.

The HD (Heavy Duty) version typically features the double oval-point screw connection for better grip on larger cables compared to standard single-screw or ball-point designs.

Yes, replacement covers for Lenco connectors are available separately if they become damaged.

While physically possible, these mechanical screw connectors are optimized for copper. Aluminum cable often requires compression crimping or specific preparation to prevent oxidation and loosening due to thermal expansion.
