Frequently Asked Questions
What does KL-150SMGY do and where is it typically used?
KL-150SMGY provides a safe, reliable single-pole male connection point for 150A circuits at up to 600V AC/DC. As a panel mount receptacle with gray color coding, it is commonly used in professional entertainment power distribution, temporary construction feeds, and industrial installations.
What are the electrical ratings of KL-150SMGY?
KL-150SMGY 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 gray housing on KL-150SMGY signify?
Gray represents Phase C (L3) under the IEC color code. In North America, gray is also permitted for the neutral conductor. Adding gray to the connector inventory ensures full IEC three-phase coverage alongside brown and black. Color-coded connectors like KL-150SMGY 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-150SMGY?
KL-150SMGY meets UL 1691 and CSA C22.2 No. 1691-12 (Single Pole Locking-Type Separable Connectors), is cULus Listed under UL File E332947, rated UL Enclosure Type 3R (when mated) for weather resistance, carries a UL94 HB flame rating, 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-150SMGY commonly deployed?
You will find KL-150SMGY in live event and touring power, film and broadcast production, trade shows, and industrial and emergency temporary power. The gray color coding and 150-amp capacity make it particularly well suited for multi-phase power distribution in professional settings.
How is KL-150SMGY installed in a panel or enclosure?
KL-150SMGY 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.
