Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use KL-150SMBN and why?
Lighting technicians, electricians, and power distribution professionals working with 150A temporary power systems will benefit from KL-150SMBN. Its brown 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-150SMBN rated for?
KL-150SMBN 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 brown version of the K-LOK 150A male panel mount inlet?
Brown designates Phase A (L1) under the IEC 60445 color code used across Europe, the UK and much of Asia. For productions touring internationally or venues hosting global acts, brown connectors ensure IEC-standard phase identification is always available. Choosing KL-150SMBN in brown ensures your power distribution system follows established color conventions, speeding up setup and reducing wiring errors.
Is KL-150SMBN UL listed and what does that mean?
Yes. KL-150SMBN 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-150SMBN?
KL-150SMBN 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 brown phase coding, makes it a versatile choice across the entertainment, construction, and industrial sectors.
What housing material is used in KL-150SMBN and why does it matter?
KL-150SMBN 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.
