CABLE CONNECTOR STAVI T
The CABLE CONNECTOR STAVI T is sized by AWG cable gauge rather than by metric area, which suits shops working to imperial cable specifications. It is supplied as matched male and female halves in 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0 sizes, rated from 300A up to 500A at 35% duty cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a T-type welding cable connector?
A T-type connector is an alternative cable-to-machine connection pattern to the Euro or Dinse type. Which one you need is determined by the socket fitted to your welding machine, not by preference — the two patterns do not intermate.
How do I identify which connector pattern my machine uses?
Look at the socket on the machine's front panel. Dinse or Euro sockets are round with an internal keyway and lock with a quarter twist. Other patterns differ in body shape, locking method and pin form. If you are ordering for a fleet of mixed machines, photograph each socket before ordering rather than assuming they match.
Can I convert a machine from one connector pattern to another?
Yes — by replacing the panel socket on the machine, which is a separate component. This is the usual approach when standardising a mixed fleet onto one cable set so that any cable fits any machine. It is work for a competent electrician, not a shop-floor change.
What determines the current rating of a cable connector?
The contact area at the mating surfaces and the cross-section of the conductor path through the connector body. This is why the connector must be matched to the cable size — a connector sized for 35 mm² cable fitted to 70 mm² cable is a bottleneck in the circuit regardless of what the machine is rated at.
How many spare connectors should a workshop keep?
Enough to remake a cable end immediately rather than waiting for stock. Connectors and cable lugs are the two items that stop a welding station for want of a part costing very little, so both are worth holding in quantity.
