952248 - ESAB 14-Pin Straight Control Plug Connector

Technical Overview of the ESAB 952248 Connector

The ESAB 952248 is a specialized 14-pin straight connector plug designed for high-reliability signal transmission in industrial welding setups. As a genuine OEM component, this connector is engineered to meet the precise specifications of ESAB welding power sources and auxiliary equipment. The 14-pin configuration is a widely recognized standard in the welding industry, typically utilized for carrying low-voltage control signals between the power supply and external devices such as remote foot pedals, hand amperage controls, and wire feeders.

Constructed from durable, impact-resistant materials, the housing of the 952248 plug is built to endure the rigors of a shop floor environment. It features a straight orientation, which is optimal for cable assemblies that require a direct line of entry into the machine's receptacle, minimizing strain on the internal wiring. The internal pin arrangement is designed for secure soldering or crimping (depending on the specific assembly method required), ensuring low contact resistance and stable electrical continuity. This is critical for maintaining precise control over welding parameters, where even momentary signal loss can result in weld defects or arc instability.

Maintenance and repair professionals rely on the ESAB 952248 to refurbish existing cable assemblies rather than replacing entire costly cables. Its compatibility with standard ESAB 14-pin receptacles ensures a seamless fit, with a locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection during operation. Whether used for fabricating custom control cables or repairing worn-out field equipment, this connector provides the mechanical integrity and electrical performance expected from ESAB engineering.
