W7003036 - Lincoln Electric 8-Pin Remote Socket with Harness for 186 AC/DC

Lincoln Electric 8-Pin Socket Assembly with Harness

The Lincoln Electric W7003036 is a specialized replacement component designed to restore the remote control functionality of specific TIG welding power sources. This assembly consists of a standard 8-pin Amphenol-style socket attached to a specific internal wiring harness. It is engineered to fit models such as the 186 AC/DC and compatible 202 series machines, ensuring a seamless integration with the welder's existing control circuitry.

Over time, the front panel sockets on welding machines can suffer from wear and tear due to the frequent connecting and disconnecting of foot pedals or hand amptrols. Pins can become bent, contacts can corrode, or the internal wiring harness can degrade due to vibration or heat. A faulty socket often results in intermittent signal loss, preventing the operator from effectively controlling amperage remotely or initiating the arc reliably. Installing this genuine Lincoln Electric replacement part eliminates these issues, ensuring that your remote devices communicate accurately with the power source.

This unit is sold as a complete assembly, meaning the socket is pre-wired to the harness, which simplifies the repair process by reducing the need for complex soldering or individual wire termination. It is an essential repair part for maintenance teams and welders looking to extend the service life of their equipment.
