Frequently Asked Questions
What is KL-400SSMO and what is it designed for?
KL-400SSMO is a KUPO K-LOK 400A single-pole male panel mount receptacle (Double Set Screw Type) with a orange housing, rated for 600V AC/DC maximum. It is engineered for heavy-duty temporary power distribution in entertainment, industrial, and event production settings. The orange color coding aids rapid phase identification on the job site.
What wire sizes does KL-400SSMO accept?
KL-400SSMO 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 orange color represent on KL-400SSMO?
Orange is traditionally reserved for high-leg delta circuits and other specialty applications in North America. It provides an unmistakable visual warning that a conductor carries a voltage different from the standard phases - critical information for electricians working with delta transformer configurations. Having a dedicated orange connector in your inventory means phase assignments are physically enforced, minimizing the chance of cross-phase connection errors.
How does KL-400SSMO protect against electrical hazards?
KL-400SSMO 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-400SSMO compatible with other CAM-type connectors?
Yes. KL-400SSMO 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.
