A high current capacity arc welding gun for gas-shielded, continuous feed, consumable electrode arc welding processes. Features include: a unique handle cooled by convection air flow; an improved head assembly having a unique electrical insulating ion impervious shield for preventing destructive arcing to the gas nozzle, an improved shielding gas flow path through the head assembly which additionally cooperates with the ion impervious shield to prevent gas nozzle arcing, a unique current contact tip which attaches to the head assembly by a novel curved wedge clamping concept and which is produced by an improved, versatile, and inexpensive method of manufacture that increases the copper density and refines the grain structure in the current contact tip for greater life; an improved gooseneck lining for longer life and reduced friction; a heat protected control switch assembly of rugged construction and unique trigger operation; and an improved welding cable connection assembly.
