0323941004 - ESAB 19-Pin Control Connector Receptacle UTG016-19S

Technical Overview of the ESAB UTG016-19S Connector

The ESAB 0323941004 is a high-specification circular connector identified by the industry-standard part number UTG016-19S. This component is a wall-mounting receptacle (panel mount) featuring a shell size of 16 and a contact arrangement of 19 positions. It utilizes socket (female) contacts, making it the receiving end for control cables typically carrying signals for wire feed speed, voltage control, and trigger operations.

Belonging to the TRIM TRIO UTG series, this connector is designed with a robust plastic housing reinforced with a metal bayonet coupling system (Metalok Bantam). This hybrid construction offers the lightweight benefits of thermoplastic with the durability and secure mating cycle life of metal connectors. It is engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of industrial environments, including exposure to dust, vibration, and thermal fluctuations.

The 19-pin configuration is particularly significant in complex welding automation and remote control applications. It allows for multiple discrete signal paths, enabling sophisticated communication between the power source and peripheral devices such as wire feeders, remote pendants, or automation interfaces. Proper installation ensures IP-rated protection when mated, safeguarding the electrical integrity of the machine's control circuits.

Technicians replacing this part should verify the pinout configuration matches the existing wiring harness. The connector is designed for rear or front panel mounting, providing flexibility in machine assembly and repair. Its standardized interface ensures compatibility with corresponding UTG6 cable plugs.
