95801100 - Tweco MPC-1 Female Panel Socket 9580-1100

Industrial-Grade Power Connection Solutions

The Tweco 9580-1100 Panel Receptacle is a critical component for maintaining the integrity of industrial welding power sources. Designed as part of the renowned Tweco MPC (Mechanical Power Connector) series, this female receptacle provides a secure, low-resistance connection point for welding cables, ensuring that the full output of the machine reaches the arc without significant voltage drop. In heavy-duty fabrication environments, the reliability of cable connections is paramount; a loose or inferior connection can lead to arcing, overheating, and damage to the welding machine's internal components. The 9580-1100 is engineered to mitigate these risks through superior materials and precision manufacturing.

Constructed from a high-grade copper alloy, the receptacle body offers exceptional electrical conductivity. It is housed within a durable, heat-resistant molded shell that protects the operator from electrical shock and withstands the rigors of the shop floor, including exposure to oil, grease, and impact. The recessed female contact design is a key safety feature, preventing accidental contact with live surfaces when no cable is connected. This unit is designed for panel mounting, making it an ideal OEM replacement or upgrade for power sources requiring a robust quick-disconnect system.

For MRO specialists and facility managers, standardizing on Tweco MPC connectors like the 9580-1100 simplifies inventory and maintenance. The positive cam-action locking mechanism ensures that once a male connector is inserted and twisted, it stays locked in place even when cables are dragged or pulled, reducing downtime caused by disconnected leads. Whether you are refurbishing a fleet of welders or building custom power distribution setups, this receptacle delivers the performance and longevity required for continuous industrial operations.
