10N32 - Weldcraft 10N32 Standard Collet Body 3/32" (5-Pack)

Precision Engineering for TIG Applications

The Weldcraft 10N32 Collet Body is a critical component designed to deliver consistent performance in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) applications. Engineered specifically for use with 3/32-inch (2.4mm) tungsten electrodes, this collet body serves as the central hub for current transfer and electrode positioning within the torch head. It is manufactured from a high-grade copper alloy, selected for its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity properties. This ensures that welding current is efficiently transferred from the power cable to the tungsten electrode with minimal resistance, promoting a stable and focused arc.

Compatibility is a key feature of the 10N32 model. It is designed to fit the industry-standard 10N series configuration, making it compatible with a wide range of TIG torches, including the popular 17, 18, and 26 series. This includes specific models such as the Weldcraft A-150, A-200, A-250, W-350, W-410, and W-225 Modular torches. Whether utilizing an air-cooled or water-cooled system, this collet body integrates seamlessly, providing a secure seat for the collet and ensuring proper gas diffusion through the nozzle.

In high-amperage applications, the thermal management capabilities of the collet body become essential. The 10N32 is built to withstand the rigorous heat cycles associated with TIG welding, rated for amperage ranges from 150 A up to 350 A depending on the torch setup. Its robust construction resists deformation and thread galling, common issues in lower-quality consumables. By maintaining a precise alignment of the tungsten, it helps fabricators achieve high-quality welds with reduced downtime for maintenance and part replacement.

This product is supplied in a package of five, ensuring that professional welders and fabrication shops have an adequate supply of spares on hand. Regular inspection and replacement of the collet body are recommended to maintain optimal shielding gas coverage and prevent arc instability caused by wear or contamination.
