OVERVIEW

Reliable Welding Cable Extensions with Tweco S-40

The Tweco S-40 Lug-Set Cable Splicer (Part Number 9610-1103) is an essential accessory for professional welders and fabrication shops requiring flexible and durable cable management solutions. Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, this mechanical splicer allows you to join two lengths of welding cable—specifically sizes 3/0 and 4/0 AWG—creating a continuous, high-conductivity path for your welding current. Whether you are extending your reach across a large workshop or repairing a severed lead in the field, the S-40 provides a secure connection that stands up to the rigors of industrial environments.

Constructed from a premium copper alloy, the S-40 splicer is engineered to minimize electrical resistance, ensuring that your welding machine delivers its full power to the arc without significant voltage drop at the connection point. The "Lug-Set" design utilizes two robust ball-point set screws that bite firmly into the copper strands of the cable. This mechanical action creates a superior pull-out strength and excellent electrical contact, eliminating the need for soldering or hydraulic crimping tools. This feature makes the S-40 particularly valuable for on-site maintenance where specialized tools may not be available.

Installation is straightforward: simply strip the insulation from the cable ends, insert them into the splicer block, and tighten the screws using a hex wrench. The result is a solid, reusable connection. For safety and protection against short circuits, it is recommended to cover the installed splicer with a compatible rubber boot or heavy-duty heat shrink (sold separately). Trust Tweco's legacy of quality for your power cable accessories.

FAQ

The Tweco S-40 (9610-1103) is designed to fit welding cables sized 3/0 AWG and 4/0 AWG.

No, this part number (9610-1103) typically refers to the metal splicer block and screws only. A protective cover or heat shrink must be purchased separately or applied by the user.

Strip the insulation from the ends of both cables, insert the bare copper into the splicer block, and tighten the ball-point set screws firmly using a hex wrench (Allen key) until the cable is secure.

Yes, the mechanical screw design allows you to loosen the screws and remove the cables, making the splicer block reusable for future connections.

The body is constructed from a high-conductivity copper alloy to ensure efficient current transfer and minimize heat build-up.

While it physically fits, mechanical lug splicers are generally optimized for copper cable. Aluminum cable often requires compression (crimping) with an oxide inhibitor to prevent loosening due to thermal expansion/contraction, though mechanical lugs can be used if rated for dual use.

Lug-Set splicers can be installed in the field with just a wrench, whereas crimping requires a heavy-duty crimping tool or hammer lug, making the Lug-Set easier for quick repairs.
