Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of connector is KL-150LMB?
KL-150LMB is a 150-ampere, 600V AC/DC single-pole male inline cable connector from the KUPO K-LOK series. Finished in blue, it belongs to the CAM-type connector family widely used across live events, film production, and temporary industrial power systems.
How much current can KL-150LMB safely carry?
KL-150LMB is designed for a maximum continuous load of 150 amperes at up to 600V AC/DC. The brass contacts and Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius work together to maintain safe operating temperatures even under sustained full-load conditions.
How does the blue color coding on KL-150LMB help on a busy job site?
On a crowded set or event site, identifying conductors quickly is a safety essential. In North America, blue designates Phase C (L3), completing the three-phase color set. Under IEC 60446, blue is reserved for the Neutral conductor - making this color essential for international projects and cross-border equipment pools. The blue KL-150LMB connector lets technicians trace circuits visually without needing to check labels or test equipment.
What safety certifications does KL-150LMB hold?
KL-150LMB is cUL Listed under File Number E332947, certified to UL 1691 - the Standard for Safety for Cam-Type, Locking-Type Separable Connectors. It carries a UL Enclosure Types 3R environment rating, HB / UL94 flame classification, and full RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance.
Can KL-150LMB work with connectors from other brands?
Absolutely. The K-LOK 150A series uses the industry-standard CAM-type interface, so KL-150LMB mates directly with compatible single-pole connectors regardless of manufacturer. This makes it easy to expand or upgrade your connector stock incrementally.
How do you assemble KL-150LMB in the field?
KL-150LMB features a tool-free modular design that enables rapid assembly and disassembly on site. Strip the cable, insert it through the housing, secure it with the double set screw termination, and lock the brass contact in place with the non-conductive POM retaining screw. The alignment arrow ensures correct orientation every time.
