0700210004 - ESAB Return Cable Assembly 3m OKC50

Genuine ESAB Return Cable Assembly for Caddy Series

The ESAB Return Cable Complete (SKU: 0700210004) is a specialized OEM replacement component engineered specifically for the ESAB Caddy Arc and Caddy Tig inverter welding power sources. As a critical element in the welding circuit, this return cable assembly is designed to facilitate the efficient transfer of welding current from the workpiece back to the power source, ensuring arc stability and minimizing voltage drop. The assembly features a high-conductivity copper conductor, insulated with a durable, flexible jacket that meets industrial safety standards for electrical insulation and heat resistance.

This unit is supplied as a complete, ready-to-install assembly. It is terminated on the machine end with a standard OKC 50 male connector (often referred to as a Dinse 50 connector), which utilizes a twist-lock mechanism to provide a secure, vibration-resistant electrical connection. This connector size is standard for many professional-grade welding machines, including the Caddy Arc 151i/201i and Caddy Tig 1500i/2200i models. The secure fit of the OKC 50 connector prevents arcing at the terminal, which can damage machine sockets and reduce welding performance.

On the workpiece end, the cable is fitted with a robust, spring-loaded ground clamp. The clamp is designed with a strong spring and conductive contact pads to bite through minor surface contaminants such as rust or mill scale, establishing a low-resistance connection essential for high-quality welding. The 3-meter length offers a practical balance between reach and portability, making it ideal for workshop benches and field maintenance tasks where excessive cable length would be cumbersome. By using genuine ESAB spare parts, operators ensure that their equipment remains within factory specifications for safety and duty cycle performance.
