There are a number of different Dinse adapters depending on what you have currently have. You probably want a [my welder model] to flow-thru Dinse socket. Unfortunately, not every combo is available. You will probably have to go the plug/lug to inline block with side gas entry to Dinse socket.

The connectors shown in the picture are not Dinse, but are infact Tweco style. Both are similar in appearance and both can be confusing as they are named after the originating company, though both companies are still active today both manufacture multiple styles of connectors and make other interchange parts.

Dinse-style or "camlock" connectors have a solid shank with a lug block protrusion on the end. It is inserted into a socket with an offset hole and twisted to cam securely. Tweco-style connectors have a split shank with a notch in the end. They are inserted into a tapered socket and twisted to lock in place. There are also different taper-style connectors that are less common. The welder picture shows lug-to-Tweco or lug-to-taper adapter sockets, the M/F cable ends have Tweco connectors.
