0160362882 - ESAB OKC 120mm² Female Panel Socket Connector

Heavy-Duty Power Connection for Industrial Welding

The ESAB OKC Female Panel Contact 120mm² (SKU: 0160362882) is a premium-grade electrical component designed for the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments. Engineered to serve as the primary output terminal on welding power sources, this panel-mounted socket facilitates the secure connection of welding cables, ensuring efficient power transmission from the machine to the workpiece. The connector is specifically rated for cables with a cross-sectional area of up to 120mm², making it suitable for high-amperage applications where minimizing electrical resistance is critical.

Constructed from high-quality copper alloy materials, the contact ensures exceptional conductivity and thermal stability. In high-current welding scenarios, poor connections can lead to significant voltage drops, overheating, and potential damage to the equipment. The ESAB OKC system utilizes a proven bayonet-style locking mechanism that provides a positive mechanical lock with a simple twist, preventing accidental disconnection due to cable tugging or machine vibration. This reliability is essential for maintaining a stable arc and consistent weld quality in heavy fabrication settings.

The unit features a robust insulating body that offers protection against electrical hazards and withstands the thermal stress common in welding operations. It is designed for panel mounting, typically on the front face of welding power sources or wire feeders. The standardized OKC interface ensures compatibility with matching male cable connectors, allowing for quick setup and teardown of welding leads. For maintenance teams and equipment manufacturers, this genuine ESAB component guarantees fit, form, and function, adhering to strict safety standards required for high-power electrical equipment.

Whether used for repairing existing equipment or building custom power distribution setups, the ESAB OKC Female Panel Contact delivers the durability and performance expected from a global leader in welding technology. Its capacity to handle large diameter cables makes it an indispensable component for heavy structural steel, shipbuilding, and pipeline welding equipment.
