K852-25 - Lincoln Electric Twist Mate Plug 25mm for #6-#4 Cable

Reliable Power Transmission with Lincoln Electric Twist Mate Plugs

The Lincoln Electric K852-25 Twist Mate™ Plug is a critical component for maintaining the integrity of your welding circuit. Designed for professional and industrial applications, this connector facilitates the seamless connection of welding cables to power sources or the extension of existing leads. Engineered to accommodate cable sizes ranging from #6 to #4 AWG, it is perfectly suited for light to medium-duty welding setups where mobility and flexibility are paramount. The connector utilizes the industry-standard 25mm sizing, often referred to as the Dinse 10-25 style, making it compatible with a broad array of modern inverter welding machines and output terminals.

At the core of the K852-25 is a precision-machined brass body. Brass is selected for its excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring that voltage drop across the connection is minimized. This is essential for maintaining a stable arc, particularly when working with longer cable runs. The plug is rated for a maximum amperage of 155 A, providing ample capacity for the specific gauge of cables it is designed to terminate. The mechanical design features a cam-lock action; a simple twist secures the plug into the receptacle, creating a high-pressure contact area that resists vibration and accidental disconnection during rigorous shop use.

Safety and durability are addressed through the inclusion of a heavy-duty insulating rubber boot. This cover slides over the brass connection, providing essential protection against electrical shock and shielding the metal components from shop floor contaminants like dust, oil, and metal filings. The boot is flexible enough to allow for easy cable manipulation while robust enough to withstand abrasion and impact. Installation is straightforward, typically involving stripping the cable insulation and securing the copper strands within the plug body, ensuring a permanent and reliable bond. Whether you are outfitting a new fleet of welders or performing maintenance on existing equipment, the K852-25 offers the quality assurance synonymous with the Lincoln Electric brand.

By utilizing genuine Lincoln Electric connectors, operators ensure that their equipment meets manufacturer specifications for safety and performance. The K852-25 is an indispensable accessory for any welding operation utilizing #6 or #4 cables, providing a secure link that professionals can trust.
