India’s No.1 in stainless steel welding consumables — by far
MACHINE PANEL SOCKETCable Connector & Machine Panel Socket

The MACHINE PANEL SOCKET is the panel-mounted half of the connector system. It is fitted through the welding machine front panel and gives a keyed, twist-lock outlet for the welding and earth leads. Three cable ranges cover 250A to 600A, each available as a male or female machine coupling.

Key Features and Benefits of Machine Panel Socket

  • Panel Mounted: Fits through the machine front panel and secures with a lock nut.
  • Rated to 600A: 600A at 35% duty cycle and 500A at 60% on the 70-95mm² size.
  • Male and Female Couplings: Both polarities available so output and earth outlets can be keyed apart.
  • Brass Current Path: Low-resistance brass keeps the panel outlet cool under sustained load.
  • Secure Twist-Lock: Positive locking stops the lead dropping out during welding.

Applications of Machine Panel Socket

  • Joining and extending welding cable runs on ARC, TIG and MIG sets
  • Quick-disconnect points between the machine, the holder and the earth lead
  • Panel-mounted machine outlets on welding rectifiers and inverters
  • Rental fleets and site welding where cables are made up and broken down often
