0194180055 - ESAB 28-Pin Control Plug Connector KPL

Genuine ESAB 28-Pin Plug Connector for Industrial Welding Systems

The ESAB 0194180055 Pin Plug 28-P KPL is a critical replacement component designed for maintaining the integrity of your ESAB welding equipment's control systems. In modern welding setups, the communication between the power source, wire feeder, and remote controls is paramount for achieving precise weld parameters and arc stability. This 28-pin connector serves as a vital link in that chain, facilitating the transfer of complex control signals across your equipment.

Manufactured to ESAB's exacting standards, this plug assembly (denoted by 'KPL' for complete kit) ensures a perfect fit and reliable electrical connection. Industrial environments are harsh on electronics; cables get dragged, connectors get bumped, and dust is omnipresent. Using a genuine OEM connector like the 0194180055 guarantees that the housing is robust enough to withstand impact and that the pins are plated to resist corrosion and oxidation, which can lead to intermittent faults or machine errors.

This specific connector features a 28-pin configuration, commonly used in multi-function control cables that manage everything from wire feed speed and voltage settings to gas solenoid activation and interlock safety circuits. When a connector becomes damaged—whether through crushed pins, a cracked housing, or cable strain—the entire welding operation can come to a halt. Replacing the damaged unit with this exact-spec part restores functionality immediately, eliminating the guesswork associated with generic or aftermarket connectors that may not align correctly.

Installation of the ESAB 0194180055 is straightforward for maintenance personnel familiar with wiring diagrams and soldering or crimping procedures. By maintaining the integrity of your connections, you extend the lifespan of your welding machine and ensure consistent performance. Whether you are repairing a frayed control cable or building a custom interface extension, this 28-pin plug provides the professional-grade quality required for heavy-duty industrial applications.
