Dear all,

does anybody know who is the manufacturer of the connector, or knows where to purchase a connector for Oerlikon Admiral 500 AC/DC Torch?

My old torch has disappeared, and I am having problems finding the suitable connector for my new torch.

Thank you,

Kind regards,

Must be a pretty old unit?

The current lineup from Air-Liquide/Oerlikon/SAF-Fro/etc. for the Admiral 500 (part number W000263716) all seem to use regular Dinse connections for the torch and ground leads and not this special 'all in 1' connection for the power and coolant.

Personally I'd bite the bullet, open up the machine and swap this connector for a Dinse and some separate water connections that are common these days. Immediately fixes any future replacement issues for torches and leads.

Bye, Arno.
