Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of connector is KL-400SSMY?
KL-400SSMY is a 400-ampere, 600V AC/DC single-pole male panel mount receptacle (Double Set Screw Type) from the KUPO K-LOK series. Finished in yellow, 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-400SSMY safely carry?
KL-400SSMY 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 yellow color coding on KL-400SSMY help on a busy job site?
On a crowded set or event site, identifying conductors quickly is a safety essential. Yellow identifies Phase A (L1) under China's GB 50303 standard and is also used for specialty marking in some North American installations. Its high-visibility color makes it an excellent choice for circuits that need to stand out for safety or identification purposes. The yellow KL-400SSMY connector lets technicians trace circuits visually without needing to check labels or test equipment.
What safety certifications does KL-400SSMY hold?
KL-400SSMY 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-400SSMY work with connectors from other brands?
Absolutely. The K-LOK 400A series uses the industry-standard CAM-type interface, so KL-400SSMY mates directly with compatible single-pole connectors regardless of manufacturer. This makes it easy to expand or upgrade your connector stock incrementally.
How is KL-400SSMY installed in a power distribution enclosure?
KL-400SSMY uses a double set screw panel-mount design with dedicated mounting holes for secure attachment to enclosures and distro boxes. The double set screw termination provides redundant cable retention - two independent screws clamp the conductor, so even if one loosens under vibration, the connection remains intact.
