Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use KL-150SFBK and why?
Lighting technicians, electricians, and power distribution professionals working with 150A temporary power systems will benefit from KL-150SFBK. Its black housing provides instant visual phase identification, while the Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius ensures durability in demanding field conditions.
What voltage and amperage is KL-150SFBK rated for?
KL-150SFBK carries a maximum rating of 150A and 600V AC/DC. It accepts wire gauges from #8 to #2 AWG, making it suitable for the conductor sizes typically used in 150-amp power distribution circuits.
Why choose the black version of the K-LOK 150A female panel mount receptacle?
Under North American NEMA/NEC conventions, black identifies Phase A (L1), making it the go-to choice for single-phase circuits and the default lead in three-phase systems. In IEC regions, black denotes Phase B (L2). Choosing KL-150SFBK in black ensures your power distribution system follows established color conventions, speeding up setup and reducing wiring errors.
Is KL-150SFBK UL listed and what does that mean?
Yes. KL-150SFBK is cULus Listed under UL File Number E332947, meaning UL has independently tested and certified it to UL 1691 for the United States and CSA C22.2 No. 1691-12 for Canada. The listing covers both the United States and Canada.
What industries commonly use KL-150SFBK?
KL-150SFBK is used across live events and touring, film and broadcast, rental and staging inventories, and industrial temporary power. Its 150A / 600V AC/DC rating, combined with CAM-type universal compatibility and black phase coding, makes it a versatile choice across the entertainment, construction, and industrial sectors.
What housing material is used in KL-150SFBK and why does it matter?
KL-150SFBK uses a Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius. Santoprene TPV delivers outstanding resistance to heat, chemicals, and UV exposure while maintaining flexibility across a wide temperature range - essential properties for connectors installed in enclosures that may face extreme operating environments.
