OVERVIEW

Restore Precision to Your ESAB Welder

The ESAB PCB Control 151I / A31 (0487261880) is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the ESAB Buddy Arc 151i and related A31 series welding machines. In modern inverter-based welding power sources, the control printed circuit board (PCB) acts as the brain of the operation. It is responsible for interpreting user settings, managing the current output, and maintaining a stable arc during the welding process. When this component fails, your machine may experience erratic behavior, failure to strike an arc, or a complete loss of power, bringing your projects to a standstill.

Choosing a genuine OEM part like this ESAB control board is essential for maintaining the integrity of your equipment. Unlike generic aftermarket boards, this unit is calibrated to the exact specifications of the Buddy Arc 151i. This ensures that the amperage readings on your display match the actual output at the torch, preserving the weld quality and consistency you expect from ESAB equipment. The board is constructed with high-grade electronic components selected for their durability and resistance to the harsh electrical noise and thermal fluctuations often found in industrial welding environments.

Installation of the 0487261880 PCB restores the full functionality of your machine's interface. Whether you are dealing with a board damaged by a power surge, moisture ingress, or simple component fatigue over time, this replacement part offers a direct fit solution. It integrates seamlessly with the machine's existing wiring harness and chassis, minimizing the complexity of the repair process. By investing in the correct repair part, you extend the service life of your valuable welding asset and avoid the higher cost of replacing the entire machine.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of reliable equipment. This control board is sourced directly from ESAB, ensuring you receive a product that meets the manufacturer's rigorous quality standards. Keep your Buddy Arc 151i running at peak performance and ensure safety compliance by using only authentic ESAB replacement parts for your maintenance and repair needs.

FAQ

This PCB is specifically designed for the ESAB Buddy Arc 151i and potentially other models in the A31 series. Check your machine's parts manual to confirm compatibility.

Yes, this is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part from ESAB, ensuring perfect fit and function.

It acts as the main control interface for the welder, managing current output, user settings, and arc stability.

Installation involves handling sensitive internal electronics and high-voltage components. We strongly recommend installation by a certified welding equipment repair technician.

It might, as the control board manages arc initiation. However, other components like the power module or connections could also be the cause. Proper diagnosis is recommended before purchasing.

OEM service parts typically do not include instruction manuals. Refer to the ESAB Buddy Arc 151i service manual for replacement procedures.

Common symptoms include an unresponsive display, inability to adjust amperage, error codes, or the machine turning on but producing no output.

Electronic repair parts like PCBs are generally non-returnable once opened or installed due to the risk of damage from improper installation or external electrical faults.
