A connecting adapter configured to mate on opposite ends with a standard adapter shank and a standard welding electrode of the resistance type. The connecting adapter is a hollow body with male and female connecting portions. The male portion, integral with the female portion, is sized to accommodate the standard welding electrode thereon. The female portion is sized to accommodate a taper portion of the shank within the hollow body and has exterior cross-sectional dimensions similar to those of the shank. The connecting adapter being formed of a wear-resistant conductive martial is replaced only periodically, thus reducing greatly the wear on the more expensive standard adapter shank.
