C-shape Electrode for C-arms (No. 1 / 3 / 5)

Product Identifier: 495635

This detailed product description presents a C-shape electrode found in the Wieländer+Schill range of professional body repair tools, specifically designed for resistance spot welding applications. This part is essential for precise and reliable welding work, especially when using C-arm type welding guns.

Comprehensive Product Description

The product with part number 495635 is an angled, C-shaped electrode that includes an electrode tip (electrode cap). It is specifically designed to fit perfectly and provide optimal performance to the C-arm No. 1, 3, and 5 during application with type welding equipment.

The C-shape design allows for welding in hard-to-reach areas, ensuring the necessary distance and access to body components. The electrode material, a copper-chromium-zirconium (CuCrZr) alloy, guarantees excellent electrical conductivity and high wear resistance, resulting in a long service life and stable weld quality.

The product is an ideal choice for professional workshops where achieving fast, efficient, and repeatable spot welding results is essential. The included electrode tip ensures the proper contact surface between the workpieces.
