OVERVIEW

Reliable Electrical Connections for Miller Equipment

The Miller 281445 Conn Rect Mini Tpa2 Skt is a critical component for maintaining the electrical integrity of your Miller welding power sources. Designed specifically as a replacement terminal for internal wiring harnesses, this rectangular mini TPA2 socket is engineered to fit 18-20 gauge (AWG) wires. Electrical faults in welding machinery are often traced back to compromised connections or corroded terminals; using genuine OEM parts like the 281445 ensures that repairs meet the original factory specifications for safety and performance.

Constructed from high-quality brass, this terminal offers superior electrical conductivity, which is essential for the accurate transmission of control signals within the welder. The brass core is finished with a tin plating. This plating serves a dual purpose: it significantly enhances corrosion resistance, protecting the connection from the harsh industrial environments often found in welding shops, and it improves the contact surface reliability. Whether you are repairing a control board harness or a sensor connection, the material properties of this socket ensure a long-lasting fix.

This product is sold as a package of four, providing technicians with the necessary quantity to repair multiple wire ends or keep spares on hand for future maintenance. The specific geometry of the Mini TPA2 socket ensures it locks securely into the corresponding connector housing, preventing vibration-induced back-outs that can lead to intermittent machine failures. When servicing complex industrial equipment, precision matters. Trust in Miller OEM parts to maintain the reliability and uptime of your welding fleet.

FAQ

This socket is designed for 18-20 AWG (Gauge) wire.

The Miller 281445 is sold as a package of 4 sockets.

This is a female socket terminal (Skt).

It is made of brass with a tin plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Yes, this is a genuine Miller OEM replacement part.

TPA generally stands for Terminal Position Assurance, a feature in connector design that ensures the terminal is fully seated.

No, it is specifically sized for 18-20 gauge wire. Using larger wire may prevent proper crimping or insertion into the housing.

While a specific crimping tool for Mini-Fit or TPA style terminals is recommended for the best connection, standard open-barrel crimpers can often be used by experienced technicians.
