EAG42 - Heavy-Duty 30/50 Amp 250V Male Welder Plug (NEMA 6-50P)

Industrial Grade Power Connection for Welding Equipment

The EAG42 Male Plug is a critical component for maintaining the power integrity of industrial welding fleets and heavy-duty workshop equipment. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of the MRO sector, this plug adheres to the NEMA 6-50P standard, which is the prevailing configuration for 250-volt arc welding machines across North America. The unit is engineered with a dual amperage rating, certified for both 30-amp and 50-amp circuits, providing versatility for maintenance teams managing a diverse inventory of power sources.

Constructed from high-impact thermoplastic, the housing is built to withstand the harsh realities of industrial environments, including drops, crushing forces, and exposure to oils, grease, and solvents common in metal fabrication shops. The internal terminal assembly is designed to accommodate heavy-gauge copper conductors, ensuring a secure, low-resistance connection that minimizes voltage drop under load. This is essential for maintaining stable arc characteristics and preventing overheating at the connection point, a common failure mode in inferior plugs.

The plug features a 2-pole, 3-wire grounding configuration (Hot-Hot-Ground), ensuring operator safety by providing a dedicated path to ground. The solid brass blades are precision-machined to ensure positive engagement with NEMA 6-50R receptacles, reducing the risk of arcing or intermittent power loss. Whether used for repairing severed power cords on MIG, TIG, or Stick welders, or for fabricating custom-length extension cords for facility-wide mobility, the EAG42 offers a reliable, code-compliant solution. Its straightforward assembly design allows for quick field replacements, minimizing downtime and keeping production lines active.
