Welding electrode holder for coated electrodes

Welding electrode holder for coated electrodes comprising an electrically conducting electrode holder body with positioning seats of electrodes and welding cable connection position, an electrically and thermally insulating handle of tubular shape where the back part of the electrode holder body is encaged, a lever pivotably assembled with the electrode holder body and having the lever arm electrically—thermally insulated, a compression spring seated on the electrode holder body or on the handle and pushing the lever arm thus forcing the lever to be turned and to exert force onto the positioning seats of electrodes, and an electrically—thermally insulating head covering the parts of the electrode holder body and those of the lever located in front of the handle or even covering and part of the handle and allowing the clamping of electrodes onto the electrode holder body, said welding electrode holder for coated electrodes characterized in that the welding cable connection position in the electrode holder body is located outside the handle and inside the insulating head, behind and/or underneath the positioning seats of electrodes, and in that the rest electrode holder body, i.e. behind the welding cable connection position, is encaged in a separate receptacle located at the front part of the handle, above the longitudinal through hole of the handle and outside or inside the insulating head.
