950962 - ESAB 19-Pin Control Plug Shell 22

Reliable Connectivity for Industrial Welding Equipment

The ESAB 950962 Connector Plug is a critical component designed to maintain the integrity of control signals between welding power sources and peripheral equipment. In the demanding environment of industrial welding, the reliability of connection points is paramount. This straight plug features a robust Shell Size 22 housing, engineered to withstand the mechanical stresses, vibrations, and potential impacts common on the shop floor. It is specifically configured with 19 female socket contacts (19FS), making it an essential part for complex control cables that manage multiple signal paths simultaneously.

This connector is typically utilized in the fabrication and repair of control cables for wire feeders, remote control pendants, and automation interfaces. The 19-pin arrangement allows for the transmission of various data points, including voltage control, wire feed speed, and trigger signals, ensuring that the welding operator has precise control over the arc. Using genuine ESAB replacement parts like the 950962 ensures that the electrical characteristics—such as contact resistance and insulation integrity—match the original equipment specifications, preventing signal loss or intermittent faults that could compromise weld quality.

Installation of the connector requires standard crimping or soldering techniques appropriate for multi-pin circular connectors. The straight body design facilitates straightforward cable routing, reducing strain on the cable assembly. Whether you are repairing a damaged cable in the field or assembling a custom length control lead for a specific station layout, this connector provides the professional-grade quality required for heavy-duty welding operations. Its durable shell also offers protection against dust and debris ingress when properly mated, contributing to the longevity of the entire welding system.

By choosing the ESAB 950962, maintenance teams can ensure seamless compatibility with existing ESAB machinery. Generic connectors may not offer the same tolerance precision or material quality, leading to loose connections or premature failure. This OEM part guarantees a secure fit and reliable electrical continuity, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs associated with control cable failures.
