OVERVIEW

Product Overview

The Lincoln Electric K484 Jumper Plug Kit is a specialized accessory engineered for industrial welding environments utilizing Constant Voltage (CV) power sources. This device is specifically designed to interface with power sources equipped with the standard 14-pin MS-type wire feeder connection. Its primary function is to electrically close the contactor circuit within the power source, thereby energizing the welding output terminals continuously (

FAQ

The K484 Jumper Plug Kit closes the contactor circuit on the power source, making the welding output terminals 'always hot' without the need for a remote trigger.

It fits a standard 14-pin MS-type (Amphenol) wire feeder connection found on many Lincoln Electric power sources.

No, it is designed specifically for Lincoln Electric CV-only power sources that utilize the 14-pin connector configuration.

No, this is a jumper plug that bypasses the switch entirely. If you need remote control capability, you would use a remote output control or a wire feeder with a trigger.

Yes, it is a durable plug that can be installed and removed as often as necessary to change the machine's operating mode.

This is often required when using simple wire feeders that lack contactor control, for certain mechanized welding setups, or for troubleshooting power source issues.

No, the K484 only closes the contactor (on/off). Voltage control remains with the power source or remote potentiometer, depending on your machine's settings.

Yes, the K484 is a genuine Lincoln Electric accessory.
