OVERVIEW

Tweco 1-MPC Male Cable Connector (Stock #2010-2103)

The Tweco 1-MPC is a premium male cable connector designed for efficient and reliable welding cable extensions and equipment connections. Engineered to accommodate cable sizes ranging from #4 to 1/0, this connector utilizes Tweco's signature ball-point cable connection system. Unlike traditional set screws that can shear copper strands and reduce conductivity, the ball-point design applies uniform pressure via a ball bearing, ensuring a solid mechanical bond and optimal current transfer. This results in cooler running connections and longer service life for your welding leads.

Constructed from a high-grade brass alloy, the connector body is machined to precise tolerances to ensure a perfect fit with its corresponding female counterpart (Model 2-MPC). The locking mechanism features a positive cam action that secures the two halves together, preventing accidental disconnection during movement around the shop floor. The assembly is protected by a durable, impact-resistant sleeve that withstands the harsh environments typical of industrial welding, including exposure to heat, oil, and abrasion.

Installation is straightforward, requiring only a hex key to tighten the ball-point screw. A copper shim is included to protect the cable strands further and enhance conductivity. Whether you are repairing damaged leads or fabricating new custom length cables, the Tweco 1-MPC provides the professional-grade performance required for consistent welding arcs.

FAQ

The Tweco 1-MPC (2010-2103) is designed to fit welding cable sizes #4, #2, #1, and 1/0.

This part (2010-2103) is the Male half of the connection. The corresponding Female half is the Model 2-MPC.

It uses a single ball-point screw connection. You insert the stripped cable into the brass body and tighten the screw; the ball bearing compresses the cable strands firmly without cutting them.

Yes, the connector comes complete with the brass body and the protective insulating sleeve.

While the rating depends on the cable size used, the 1-MPC series is generally suitable for applications up to approximately 250-300 amps when used with 1/0 cable.

Yes, by pairing this male connector with a female 2-MPC connector on another cable, you can create a secure extension cord for your welding leads.

It is compatible with other connectors that follow the standard Tweco MPC design, but for best performance and safety, matching Tweco brand connectors is recommended.

You will need a cable stripper to expose the copper strands and a hex key (Allen wrench) to tighten the ball-point screw.
