268995 - Miller 22-18 AWG Tin-Plated Connector Socket Contact

Reliable Electrical Repairs with Miller OEM Parts

The Miller 268995 Connector Socket is a critical component for maintaining the electrical integrity of your Miller welding equipment. As a genuine OEM part, this connector socket is engineered to the exact specifications required by Miller machines, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance. Electrical issues in welding machines can often be traced back to faulty connections or corroded contacts; replacing damaged terminals with high-quality OEM parts is essential for restoring functionality and preventing future downtime.

Precision Engineering for Secure Connections

Designed to accommodate wire gauges from 22 to 18 AWG, this universal rectangular connector socket is versatile enough for various control wiring and harness applications within your welder. The contact features a 0.039-inch socket size, providing a tight and secure mating interface that minimizes electrical resistance. With an outer diameter of 0.094 inches, it seats correctly within the appropriate connector housings, preventing loose connections that could lead to intermittent faults or signal loss.

Durable Tin-Plated Finish

Durability is key in industrial environments where welding equipment operates. This contact features a tin-plated finish, which serves a dual purpose: it enhances electrical conductivity and provides a robust layer of protection against oxidation and corrosion. Over time, exposure to humidity and shop fumes can degrade bare metal contacts, but the tin plating ensures that your electrical connections remain stable and reliable for the long haul.

Application and Installation

This socket is typically used in internal wire harnesses, control board connections, and other low-voltage circuits within Miller power sources and wire feeders. Proper installation involves stripping the wire to the correct length and using a suitable crimping tool designed for 22-18 gauge open-barrel terminals. Using the correct tool ensures a "gas-tight" crimp that mechanically holds the wire and creates a low-resistance electrical path. Whether you are repairing a damaged harness or building a custom interface, the Miller 268995 ensures your equipment continues to operate at peak efficiency.
