Frequently Asked Questions
What is KL-400SFB and what is it designed for?
KL-400SFB is a KUPO K-LOK 400A single-pole female panel mount receptacle (Thread-Stud Type) with a blue housing, rated for 600V AC/DC maximum. It is engineered for heavy-duty temporary power distribution in entertainment, industrial, and event production settings. The blue color coding aids rapid phase identification on the job site.
What wire sizes does KL-400SFB accept?
KL-400SFB accommodates conductors ranging from #6 to 4/0 AWG. The brass contact assembly ensures reliable electrical performance across this full conductor range, supporting up to 400A at 600V AC/DC.
Which electrical phase does the blue color represent on KL-400SFB?
In North America, blue designates Phase C (L3), completing the three-phase color set. Under IEC 60446, blue is reserved for the Neutral conductor - making this color essential for international projects and cross-border equipment pools. Having a dedicated blue connector in your inventory means phase assignments are physically enforced, minimizing the chance of cross-phase connection errors.
How does KL-400SFB protect against electrical hazards?
KL-400SFB incorporates multiple safety features: the Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius resists heat and impact, brass contacts minimize resistive heating, and the design meets UL 1691 safety requirements under cUL Listed E332947. The UL Enclosure Types 3R rating also provides protection in wet or outdoor conditions.
Is KL-400SFB compatible with other CAM-type connectors?
Yes. KL-400SFB follows the universal CAM-type single-pole connector standard and intermates with CAM-type connectors from all major manufacturers. This cross-brand compatibility means you can integrate K-LOK connectors into existing power distribution systems without replacing your entire inventory.
How is KL-400SFB installed in a panel or enclosure?
KL-400SFB 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.
