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.
