OVERVIEW

Restore Your Welder's Connectivity

The ESAB/Tweco W7003242 8-Pin Socket with Harness is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the Fabricator 211i series of multi-process welders. Over time, the front panel control sockets on welding machines can become damaged due to frequent connecting and disconnecting of accessories, accidental impact, or arcing caused by loose connections. When this socket fails, you lose the ability to use essential peripherals such as remote foot controls, hand amperage controls, or spool guns, severely limiting the versatility of your machine.

This assembly is a genuine OEM part, ensuring it meets the exact electrical and physical specifications of your Fabricator 211i. It is not just the plastic receptacle; it comes pre-wired with the specific harness required to connect directly to the machine's internal circuit board. This eliminates the need for complex soldering or wire splicing during the repair process. By using the correct OEM part, you ensure signal integrity for your remote devices, preventing erratic wire feeding or unstable amperage control that can result from using generic or makeshift connectors.

Whether you are a repair technician servicing a client's machine or a fabricator maintaining your own equipment, the W7003242 provides a reliable solution to get your welder back to full operational status. It is built to the same durability standards as the original component installed at the factory.
