Frequently Asked Questions
What does KL-150SFBN do and where is it typically used?
KL-150SFBN provides a safe, reliable single-pole female connection point for 150A circuits at up to 600V AC/DC. As a panel mount receptacle with brown color coding, it is commonly used in professional entertainment power distribution, temporary construction feeds, and industrial installations.
What are the electrical ratings of KL-150SFBN?
KL-150SFBN is rated for 150 amperes maximum continuous current at 600V AC/DC maximum. It accepts conductors from #8 to #2 AWG (American Wire Gauge), with brass contacts delivering low-resistance connections for sustained high-current loads.
What does the brown housing on KL-150SFBN signify?
Brown designates Phase A (L1) under IEC 60446 conventions used across Europe, the UK, Asia, and Australia. For productions touring internationally or venues hosting global acts, brown connectors ensure IEC-standard phase identification is always available. Color-coded connectors like KL-150SFBN allow crews to visually verify correct phase wiring at a glance, which is especially valuable during fast-paced load-ins and load-outs.
What safety standards apply to KL-150SFBN?
KL-150SFBN meets UL 1691 (Cam-Type, Locking-Type Separable Connectors), is cUL Listed under E332947, rated UL Enclosure Types 3R for weather resistance, carries a HB / UL94 flame class, and complies with RoHS hazardous substance restrictions. These certifications collectively ensure the connector is safe for professional use in entertainment and industrial environments.
Where is KL-150SFBN commonly deployed?
You will find KL-150SFBN at work in studio power distribution in recording, post-production, and live broadcast environments. The brown color coding and 150-amp capacity make it particularly well suited for multi-phase power distribution in professional settings.
What makes KL-150SFBN suitable for permanent installations?
Unlike inline connectors designed for repeated connection and disconnection, KL-150SFBN 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.
