0368544006 - ESAB 28-Pin Burndy Control Socket

Technical Overview of the ESAB 28-Pole Burndy Socket

The ESAB 0368544006 is a specialized 28-pole Burndy-style socket designed for high-integrity control signal transmission in industrial welding environments. As a genuine OEM component, this socket is engineered to meet the precise electrical and mechanical specifications of ESAB welding power sources and wire feeders. The 28-pin configuration allows for the transmission of multiple discrete control signals, including voltage sensing, wire feed speed control, trigger logic, and auxiliary functions, ensuring seamless communication between system components.

Constructed with industrial-grade materials, the housing provides robust protection against impact, vibration, and thermal cycling common in heavy fabrication settings. The contact terminals are designed for low resistance and high durability, minimizing the risk of signal degradation or intermittent faults that can disrupt welding parameters. This socket is typically mounted on the chassis of the power source or wire feeder, serving as the interface point for the interconnection control cable.

Maintenance personnel and technicians will appreciate the direct-fit nature of this spare part, which eliminates the need for modification during installation. Proper replacement of damaged or worn sockets is critical for maintaining the safety and functionality of automated and semi-automated welding systems. The 0368544006 ensures that the complex pinout required by modern ESAB equipment is maintained correctly.
