Frequently Asked Questions
KL-400SSFBK FAQ
What is KL-400SSFBK and what is it designed for?
KL-400SSFBK is a KUPO K-LOK 400A single-pole female panel mount receptacle (Double Set Screw Type) with a black housing, rated for 600V AC/DC maximum. It is engineered for heavy-duty temporary power distribution in entertainment, industrial, and event production settings. The black color coding aids rapid phase identification on the job site.
What wire sizes does KL-400SSFBK accept?
KL-400SSFBK 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 black color represent on KL-400SSFBK?
Under North American NEMA/NEC conventions, black identifies Phase A (L1), making it the go-to choice for single-phase circuits and the default lead in three-phase systems. In IEC regions, black denotes Phase B (L2). Having a dedicated black connector in your inventory means phase assignments are physically enforced, minimizing the chance of cross-phase connection errors.
How does KL-400SSFBK protect against electrical hazards?
KL-400SSFBK 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 cRUus listing E332947. The UL Enclosure Types 3R rating also provides protection in wet or outdoor conditions.
Is KL-400SSFBK compatible with other CAM-type connectors?
Yes. KL-400SSFBK 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-400SSFBK?
The double set screw termination on KL-400SSFBK 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.
