Frequently Asked Questions
KL-400SSMBK FAQ
What kind of connector is KL-400SSMBK?
KL-400SSMBK 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 black, 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-400SSMBK safely carry?
KL-400SSMBK 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 black color coding on KL-400SSMBK help on a busy job site?
On a crowded set or event site, identifying conductors quickly is a safety essential. 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). The black KL-400SSMBK connector lets technicians trace circuits visually without needing to check labels or test equipment.
What safety certifications does KL-400SSMBK hold?
KL-400SSMBK is cRUus Listed (UL and cUL) 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-400SSMBK work with connectors from other brands?
Absolutely. The K-LOK 400A series uses the industry-standard CAM-type interface, so KL-400SSMBK mates directly with compatible single-pole connectors regardless of manufacturer. This makes it easy to expand or upgrade your connector stock incrementally.
What is the advantage of the double set screw design on KL-400SSMBK?
The double set screw termination on KL-400SSMBK 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.
