Product Description
The KUPO K-LOK 400A Female Line Connector is engineered for heavy-duty reliability and safety in high-current temporary power distribution. Featuring a Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius, brass contacts for superior conductivity, and a non-conductive POM (Polyoxymethylene) retaining screw that eliminates accidental current paths, this connector delivers the mechanical strength and electrical performance demanded by large-scale entertainment productions and industrial applications handling up to 400 amperes. The modular, tool-free design enables rapid field assembly and disassembly, while full interoperability with standard CAM-type connectors ensures seamless integration into existing power distribution systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does KL-400LFW do and where is it typically used?
KL-400LFW provides a safe, reliable single-pole female connection point for 400A circuits at up to 600V AC/DC. As a line connector with white color coding, it is commonly used in professional entertainment power distribution, temporary construction feeds, and industrial installations.
What are the electrical ratings of KL-400LFW?
KL-400LFW is rated for 400 amperes maximum continuous current at 600V AC/DC maximum. It accepts conductors from #6 to 4/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge), with brass contacts delivering low-resistance connections for sustained high-current loads.
What does the white housing on KL-400LFW signify?
White is universally recognized in North America as the Neutral conductor per NEC conventions. Using a dedicated white connector for neutral runs eliminates guesswork during setup and teardown, reducing the risk of miswired circuits. Color-coded connectors like KL-400LFW 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-400LFW?
KL-400LFW 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-400LFW commonly deployed?
You will find KL-400LFW at work in studio power distribution in recording, post-production, and live broadcast environments. The white color coding and 400-amp capacity make it particularly well suited for multi-phase power distribution in professional settings.
What makes KL-400LFW easy to use during fast-paced setups?
The K-LOK tool-free design means KL-400LFW can be assembled and disassembled without specialized equipment. The ribbed Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius provides a secure grip even with work gloves, and the alignment arrow guides correct mating orientation - cutting connection time on busy sets and stages.
