Phase / Wire Color Convention
Frequently Asked Questions
What is KL-150SFB and what is it designed for?
KL-150SFB is a KUPO K-LOK 150A single-pole female panel mount receptacle (Thread-Stud Type) with a blue housing, rated for 600V AC/DC maximum. It is engineered for heavy-duty temporary power distribution in entertainment, industrial, and event production settings. The blue color coding aids rapid phase identification on the job site.
What wire sizes does KL-150SFB accept?
KL-150SFB accommodates conductors ranging from #8 to #2 AWG. The brass contact assembly ensures reliable electrical performance across this full conductor range, supporting up to 150A at 600V AC/DC.
Which electrical phase does the blue color represent on KL-150SFB?
In North America, blue designates Phase C (L3), completing the three-phase color set. Under IEC 60445, blue is reserved for the Neutral conductor - making this color essential for international projects and cross-border equipment pools. Having a dedicated blue connector in your inventory means phase assignments are physically enforced, minimizing the chance of cross-phase connection errors.
How does KL-150SFB protect against electrical hazards?
KL-150SFB incorporates multiple safety features: the Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius resists heat and impact, brass contacts minimize resistive heating, and the design meets UL 1691 and CSA C22.2 No. 1691-12 safety requirements, cULus Listed under UL File E332947. The Type 3R rating (when mated) means the connector is suitable for outdoor use, with a degree of protection against rain, sleet and external ice formation.
Is KL-150SFB compatible with other CAM-type connectors?
Yes. KL-150SFB follows the universal CAM-type single-pole connector standard and intermates with CAM-type connectors from all major manufacturers. This cross-brand compatibility means you can integrate K-LOK connectors into existing power distribution systems without replacing your entire inventory.
What makes KL-150SFB suitable for permanent installations?
Unlike inline connectors designed for repeated connection and disconnection, KL-150SFB is engineered for fixed mounting. Its threaded stud and mounting-hole pattern lock the connector firmly to the enclosure, preventing loosening under vibration - critical for touring racks and permanently installed distro systems alike.
