Product Description
The KUPO K-LOK 400A Male 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 kind of connector is KL-400LMG?
KL-400LMG is a 400-ampere, 600V AC/DC single-pole male inline cable connector from the KUPO K-LOK series. Finished in green, 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-400LMG safely carry?
KL-400LMG is designed for a maximum continuous load of 400 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 green color coding on KL-400LMG help on a busy job site?
On a crowded set or event site, identifying conductors quickly is a safety essential. Green identifies the Ground (Earth / PE) conductor across North American and many international standards. Ground integrity is critical for personnel safety, and a distinct green connector ensures the safety earth is never confused with a current-carrying phase. The green KL-400LMG connector lets technicians trace circuits visually without needing to check labels or test equipment.
What safety certifications does KL-400LMG hold?
KL-400LMG is cUL Listed under File Number E332947, certified to UL 1691 - the Standard for Safety for Cam-Type, Locking-Type Separable Connectors. It carries a UL Enclosure Types 3R environment rating, HB / UL94 flame classification, and full RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance.
Can KL-400LMG work with connectors from other brands?
Absolutely. The K-LOK 400A series uses the industry-standard CAM-type interface, so KL-400LMG mates directly with compatible single-pole connectors regardless of manufacturer. This makes it easy to expand or upgrade your connector stock incrementally.
What housing material is used in KL-400LMG and why does it matter?
KL-400LMG uses a Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius. Santoprene TPV combines the flexibility of rubber with the processing advantages of thermoplastic, delivering excellent chemical resistance, UV stability, and durability under repeated mechanical stress - exactly what professional power connectors face on tour and on set.
