0323943102 - ESAB UTG 12PG Strain Relief Cable Gland

Precision Cable Management for Industrial Welding Equipment

The ESAB Cable Clamp UTG 12PG (SKU: 0323943102) is a critical OEM replacement component designed to maintain the structural and electrical integrity of ESAB welding machinery. In the demanding environment of industrial fabrication, the physical connection points where power and control cables enter equipment enclosures are subject to significant mechanical stress. This cable clamp acts as a primary strain relief mechanism, anchoring the cable securely to the machine chassis. By absorbing the forces of tugging, twisting, and vibration, it prevents these mechanical loads from being transferred to the delicate internal terminal blocks and soldered connections, thereby reducing the risk of electrical faults and short circuits.

Manufactured to the exact specifications of the original equipment, the UTG 12PG clamp ensures a precise fit that generic aftermarket alternatives cannot guarantee. This precision is vital not only for mechanical security but also for maintaining the equipment's Ingress Protection (IP) rating. A properly seated cable clamp minimizes the ingress of conductive dust, metal shavings, and atmospheric moisture, which are prevalent in welding environments. The component is constructed from high-grade industrial materials capable of withstanding the thermal cycling and physical impact typical of heavy-duty welding operations.

For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals, utilizing genuine ESAB parts like the 0323943102 simplifies the repair process and ensures compliance with safety standards. Whether refurbishing an older power source or replacing a damaged strain relief on a wire feeder, this component restores the machine to its factory specifications. It is compatible with a range of ESAB equipment utilizing the UTG 12PG interface, making it an essential stock item for preventative maintenance schedules.

Technical Specifications and Application

The designation "UTG 12PG" typically refers to the sizing standard of the gland or clamp interface, often correlating with PG thread standards used in European industrial equipment. This ensures compatibility with specific cable diameters and chassis knockout sizes. Proper installation of this clamp is essential for compliance with electrical safety codes regarding cable retention and strain relief.
