2062309 - ESAB 315A 600V Male Receptacle Connector .50-13 Thread

High-Performance Power Connection for Industrial Welding

The ESAB Male Receptacle (SKU: 2062309) is a critical component designed for the rigorous demands of industrial welding and power distribution. Engineered to handle significant electrical loads, this connector is rated for a continuous current of 315 Amperes and a voltage capacity of 600 Volts. This high specification ensures that the component can manage the substantial power throughput required by heavy-duty welding power sources without succumbing to thermal degradation or electrical arcing, provided it is installed correctly within the circuit.

Reliability in electrical connections is paramount in MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments. A failing connector can lead to voltage drops, inconsistent arc characteristics, and potential safety hazards. This ESAB receptacle features a robust 1/2"-13 thread (.50-13T), a standard coarse thread size that offers excellent mechanical holding power. This ensures that cabling lugs or bus bar connections remain tight even under the vibration and thermal cycling common in welding workshops. The male gender configuration is typically utilized on the machine side or panel mount applications, serving as a sturdy anchor point for power transfer.

Material quality is a hallmark of ESAB's manufacturing process. This receptacle is constructed to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environments, including exposure to dust, metallic particulates, and elevated temperatures. By maintaining low contact resistance, the connector minimizes energy loss and heat generation at the connection point, contributing to the overall efficiency and longevity of the welding equipment. It is an essential replacement part for facility managers and equipment technicians looking to maintain the operational integrity of their ESAB power sources.

Installation of high-amperage components requires attention to torque specifications and surface cleanliness. The .50-13 thread allows for the application of significant torque to ensure a gas-tight electrical seal between mating surfaces, reducing oxidation risks. Whether used for retrofitting older machines or repairing damaged output terminals, this 315A 600V receptacle provides the assurance of OEM-quality performance and safety compliance.
