in your pic, the two bolts in the CENTER of the brown board connect to the OUTPUT of your AC welder - the "-" and "+" go to work and stinger. 99.9% of the time, stinger will be "+" .

As said, a heat sink and/or fan would be a good idea... Steve

What??? are you serious? DC duty cycle isn't half. It shouldn't be any different. They way the tombstones are configured, they do have half the amp output...but that shouldn't be ANY reason it is inferior or not to buy it. Typical misleading information to sell what they have in stock.

Mark,
Thanks for correcting me. I could have confused what the salesman said about the amp output with the duity cycle. It's been a long time. The salesman was a nice guy.

Thanks for the response guys, I just didn't have a clue. Probably won't hook it back up, what little welding I have to do the Linoln AC can stay AC.
