Frequently Asked Questions
KL-400SMG FAQ
What does KL-400SMG do and where is it typically used?
KL-400SMG provides a safe, reliable single-pole male connection point for 400A circuits at up to 600V AC/DC. As a panel mount receptacle with green color coding, it is commonly used in professional entertainment power distribution, temporary construction feeds, and industrial installations.
What are the electrical ratings of KL-400SMG?
KL-400SMG is rated for 400 amperes maximum continuous current at 600V AC/DC maximum. It accepts conductors from #6 to 4/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge), with brass contacts delivering low-resistance connections for sustained high-current loads.
What does the green housing on KL-400SMG signify?
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. Color-coded connectors like KL-400SMG allow crews to visually verify correct phase wiring at a glance, which is especially valuable during fast-paced load-ins and load-outs.
What safety standards apply to KL-400SMG?
KL-400SMG meets UL 1691 (Cam-Type, Locking-Type Separable Connectors), is cRUus Listed under E332947, rated UL Enclosure Types 3R for weather resistance, carries a HB / UL94 flame class, and complies with RoHS hazardous substance restrictions. These certifications collectively ensure the connector is safe for professional use in entertainment and industrial environments.
Where is KL-400SMG commonly deployed?
You will find KL-400SMG at work in portable power distribution for emergency and disaster-response operations. The green color coding and 400-amp capacity make it particularly well suited for multi-phase power distribution in professional settings.
What housing material is used in KL-400SMG and why does it matter?
KL-400SMG uses a Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 degrees Celsius. Santoprene TPV delivers outstanding resistance to heat, chemicals, and UV exposure while maintaining flexibility across a wide temperature range — essential properties for connectors installed in enclosures that may face extreme operating environments.
