Function: Connects to the welding cable to transmit current, allowing the welder to guide the electrode and maintain a stable arc.

Amperage Ratings: Common ratings range from 200A (light duty) to 500A+ (heavy duty), with 300A being standard for many applications.

Design Features:

Insulation: Heat-resistant materials protect the operator from electrical shock and heat.

Jaw Design: Engineered to grip electrodes securely at different angles (e.g., 45°, 90°, or 180°).

Ergonomics: Designed for comfort during long welding sessions.
