Current Capacity 200 Amps
Cooling Method Air/Gas Cooled (Argon)
Electrode Diameter .6 mm to 4.0 mm
Standard Weight Approx. 180g - 220g
## Key Features to Highlight
- Copper Internal Core: The use of copper ensures minimal voltage drop and prevents the head from overheating at 200A.
- Silicon Insulation: The red silicon rubber (shown in your image) provides excellent high-voltage insulation and heat resistance, preventing the handle from becoming too hot for the operator.
- Universal Threading: The brass connector at the rear is designed to fit standard TIG power cables (typically 3/8' or M16 threads depending on the regional standard).
## Application Areas
- Heavy-duty fabrication shops.
- Pipe welding and structural steel work.
- Repair and maintenance where a portable, gas-cooled setup is preferred over bulky water coolers.
