Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of connector is KL-150SMBK?
KL-150SMBK is a 150-ampere, 600V AC/DC single-pole male panel mount inlet (Thread-Stud Type) from the KUPO K-LOK series. Finished in black, 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-150SMBK safely carry?
KL-150SMBK 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 black color coding on KL-150SMBK help on a busy job site?
On a crowded set or event site, identifying conductors quickly is a safety essential. 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). The black KL-150SMBK connector lets technicians trace circuits visually without needing to check labels or test equipment.
What safety certifications does KL-150SMBK hold?
KL-150SMBK is cULus Listed under UL File Number E332947, certified to UL 1691 and CSA C22.2 No. 1691-12, the US and Canadian standards for single-pole locking-type separable connectors. It carries a UL Enclosure Type 3R (when mated) environment rating, UL94 HB flame classification, and full RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance.
Can KL-150SMBK work with connectors from other brands?
Absolutely. The K-LOK 150A series uses the industry-standard CAM-type interface, so KL-150SMBK mates directly with compatible single-pole connectors regardless of manufacturer. This makes it easy to expand or upgrade your connector stock incrementally.
How is KL-150SMBK installed in a panel or enclosure?
KL-150SMBK mounts directly to power distribution enclosures, distro boxes, and panel assemblies using its threaded stud connection and dedicated mounting holes. Once secured, the connector provides a permanent, vibration-resistant termination point that mates with standard CAM-type inline connectors.
