99202102 - Tweco 2-MPC Male Cable Connector 1/0-3/0 AWG

Technical Overview: Tweco 2-MPC Male Cable Connector

The Tweco 9920-2102, designated as Model 2-MPC, is a precision-engineered male cable connector designed for the efficient transmission of high-amperage welding current. This component serves as the male half of a quick-disconnect system, facilitating the modular assembly and extension of secondary welding circuits. It is specifically engineered to accommodate a cable range of 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0 AWG, providing versatility across medium-to-heavy duty welding applications.

The core of the 2-MPC connector is manufactured from a high-conductivity copper alloy, ensuring minimal voltage drop across the connection point. The cable termination utilizes a mechanical single ball-point screw design. This mechanism compresses the cable strands against the connector body using a supplied copper shim, ensuring maximum surface contact and current transfer without the need for soldering or specialized crimping tools. This design allows for rapid field installation and maintenance using standard hex keys.

Externally, the connector is protected by a durable, impact-resistant insulating cover designed to withstand the harsh environmental conditions typical of industrial welding sites, including exposure to heat, oil, and ozone. The mating interface features a positive cam-action lock, which engages with the corresponding female connector (2-MPC Female) to provide a secure, vibration-proof mechanical and electrical bond. This locking mechanism ensures safety and continuity during dynamic welding operations.
