...Need a male connector adapter?

admin

Hey y'all first time posting here. More to come i'm sure.Here's another question out of the thousands that have probably been asked, I skimmed the past 10 pages but I didn't see anything related. Welding noob in general, went to school for about 5 months. Long story short (of getting everything i need to be able to weld at home) I finally just need an adapter connector(?) for my tig torch (CK17VFX 150 amp) that will connect to my machine (Everlast Powertig 200DX)I remember seeing them at my welding school, in which I would plug my tig lead into an adapter that's plugged in the machine, I was wondering if there are any premade that exist to my specifications or if I have to make my own (and if so, how?)I've checked online and I really have no clue what i'm looking for.---------------------------------Here are pictures to help specification of the terminal connection. Says 35-70 mm^2 and 35 series. What does that mean? picture of male connector of the tig torch it comes with female recepticleMy Tig torch end. I have no idea what the specifications on this thing is.Side by Side.I'm basically looking for a female receptacle for my older tig torch (I really like the flex) that can convert to the male version, which is what is needed for the machine. I'm not really sure what I should be looking for and I have no idea what kind of male connector my flex torch is. I hope anyone with a good eye can help Also another quick question. Would a 5 cup suffice for gas flow if your using a 1/8th tungsten? the torch came with a 4 cup but I don't think there's enough space for gas to flow with a 1/8th. Thanks!
Reply:You need to take them to your LWS and say presto changeo.  Ask for a DIN's to Tweco twistlock adapter.
Reply:I think they just used Tweco there and not Dinse. Aren't all adapters different though? Like i'm assuming the Dinse is 35mm but i'm not sure. Really i'm just looking for information what the specifications are on the two ends I need. and if there isn't a way of purchasing one, how would i go about making one?

Reply:You could call ck worldwide or arc-zone, both places have a new 35mm dinse connector with your quick disconnect argon line.  I think the price is $40-$60.

Reply:Originally Posted by 7A749I made a set of Dinse 50 to Tweco adapter cables years ago. I mainly used them on my XMT for the stick leads I have (everything I have is Tweco) & for connecting Dinse terminal machines to my load bank for testing them.I actually have the exact same end on my air cooled TIG torch & use the adapter cable to connect it to my dynasty.I have a set of direct connect Dinse to Tweco adapters too. I like the cables better tho.Just buy the direct connect style. One will do the job. Similar to what Ironrail posted.http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/171214396978?lpid=82Or two for $20 that's actually a pretty good deal there.http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Miller-042...p2054897.l4276
