952684 - ESAB Lift/Turn Latch with Silkscreen - 952684

Genuine ESAB Replacement Hardware

The ESAB 952684 Latch Lift/Turn (Silkscreen) is a critical replacement component designed to maintain the structural integrity and accessibility of your ESAB welding equipment. In industrial environments, the hardware on welding power sources and wire feeders is subject to frequent use and potential wear. A functioning latch is essential not just for aesthetics, but for safety and protection. It ensures that protective panels remain securely closed during operation, shielding internal electronics from metal dust, sparks, and shop debris, while protecting operators from exposure to live electrical components.

This specific part features a lift-and-turn mechanism, a design chosen for its reliability and resistance to accidental opening. The user must deliberately lift the handle before turning, providing a secure lock that resists vibration. The inclusion of the silkscreen indicates that this part comes with specific markings—likely directional arrows, branding, or safety indicators—that match the original specifications of the machine. Using genuine OEM parts like this ensures that the replacement fits perfectly into the existing cutout without the need for modification, maintaining the equipment's NEMA or IP rating where applicable.

Sourcing original ESAB parts through Josef Gas guarantees compatibility. Generic latches often fail to provide the correct compression depth or mounting footprint, leading to rattling panels or gaps that let in contaminants. Whether you are repairing a fleet of machines or fixing a single unit, the 952684 latch restores the professional look and function of your investment. It is constructed from durable materials capable of withstanding the heat and rough handling typical of welding workshops.

Installation is generally straightforward, requiring standard tools to remove the old assembly and secure the new one. By replacing damaged latches promptly, you prevent further damage to the machine's chassis and ensure compliance with safety standards regarding equipment enclosures.
