0194055009 - ESAB 5-Position Selector Switch 30-Degree Index

Precision Control for Industrial Welding Equipment

The ESAB Rotary Switch (0194055009) is a critical electromechanical component designed to restore precise control to your ESAB welding power sources and wire feeders. In the demanding environment of industrial welding, control switches are subject to constant mechanical wear and electrical stress. This genuine OEM replacement part features a robust 5-position configuration with a standard 30-degree indexing angle, ensuring that operators can select settings with confidence and accuracy.

Technical Reliability and Construction

Rotary switches in welding machines often handle significant control currents or signal voltages that dictate the machine's output characteristics, such as voltage steps, inductance settings, or process modes. The ESAB 0194055009 is engineered with high-quality contact materials that resist oxidation and arcing, common issues that lead to "dead spots" or intermittent operation in inferior generic switches. The 30-degree throw provides a distinct tactile "click" (detent), giving the welder immediate physical feedback that the switch has seated correctly in the desired position. This mechanical precision is vital for maintaining consistent weld parameters during operation.

Maintenance and Compatibility

Using genuine ESAB parts for maintenance is essential for preserving the safety and longevity of your equipment. This switch is manufactured to the exact dimensional specifications required for ESAB control panels, ensuring a hassle-free installation without the need for modification to the mounting holes or wiring harness. Whether used as a coarse voltage selector or a mode switch, this 5-position unit maintains the integrity of the machine's internal logic and power distribution.
