Frequently Asked Questions
What is KL-400SSMW and what is it designed for?
KL-400SSMW is a KUPO K-LOK 400A single-pole male panel mount receptacle (Double Set Screw Type) with a white housing, rated for 600V AC/DC maximum. It is engineered for heavy-duty temporary power distribution in entertainment, industrial, and event production settings. The white color coding aids rapid phase identification on the job site.
What wire sizes does KL-400SSMW accept?
KL-400SSMW 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 white color represent on KL-400SSMW?
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. Having a dedicated white connector in your inventory means phase assignments are physically enforced, minimizing the chance of cross-phase connection errors.
How does KL-400SSMW protect against electrical hazards?
KL-400SSMW 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-400SSMW compatible with other CAM-type connectors?
Yes. KL-400SSMW 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.
What is the advantage of the double set screw design on KL-400SSMW?
The double set screw termination on KL-400SSMW provides redundant cable clamping - each screw independently secures the conductor, adding a layer of safety against vibration-induced loosening. This is particularly valuable in touring rigs and mobile power systems where connectors experience constant mechanical stress.
