0194269002 - ESAB Control Cable Strain Relief Grommet

Essential Cable Protection for Industrial Welding Equipment

The ESAB Grommet for Control Cable (SKU: 0194269002) is a critical component designed to maintain the integrity of electrical connections within ESAB welding machines and wire feeders. In industrial environments, equipment is subject to constant vibration, movement, and potential impact. Without proper cable management, control cables passing through metal chassis walls are susceptible to abrasion, insulation damage, and eventual short circuits. This grommet acts as a protective interface, absorbing vibration and preventing the sharp edges of the machine casing from cutting into the cable jacket.

Manufactured from high-quality industrial rubber, this component is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions typical of welding workshops, including exposure to ozone, mild heat, and oil mist. Beyond mechanical protection, the grommet serves a vital function in sealing the equipment enclosure. It helps minimize the ingress of conductive grinding dust, metal shavings, and atmospheric moisture that can compromise sensitive printed circuit boards and internal relays. Maintaining the correct IP (Ingress Protection) rating of your welding power source or wire feeder often relies on the condition of these seemingly minor seals.

For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals, using genuine OEM parts like the 0194269002 ensures compatibility and reliability. Generic grommets may not provide the correct fitment required for adequate strain relief, leading to cables pulling out of their terminal blocks during operation. This genuine ESAB part guarantees a secure fit, ensuring that the control cable remains firmly anchored while allowing for the necessary flexibility required during equipment setup and repositioning.
