Product Description
Overview
The KUPO K-LOK 400 A Male Panel Mount Receptacle (Double Set Screw Type) is engineered for secure, permanent installation in high-current power distribution enclosures and panel assemblies where double set screw termination is preferred. Featuring a Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 °C, brass contacts for superior conductivity, and a double set screw connection for robust cable retention, this connector delivers the structural integrity and electrical performance required by large-scale entertainment productions and industrial power systems handling up to 400 amperes. Full interoperability with standard CAM-type connectors ensures seamless integration into existing power distribution infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of connector is KL-400SSMG?
KL-400SSMG is a 400-ampere, 600 V AC/DC single-pole male panel mount receptacle (Double Set Screw Type) from the KUPO K-LOK series. Finished in green, 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-400SSMG safely carry?
KL-400SSMG is designed for a maximum continuous load of 400 amperes at up to 600 V AC/DC. The brass contacts and Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 °C work together to maintain safe operating temperatures even under sustained full-load conditions.
How does the green color coding on KL-400SSMG help on a busy job site?
On a crowded set or event site, identifying conductors quickly is a safety essential. 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. The green KL-400SSMG connector lets technicians trace circuits visually without needing to check labels or test equipment.
What safety certifications does KL-400SSMG hold?
KL-400SSMG is UL / UL / 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-400SSMG work with connectors from other brands?
Absolutely. The K-LOK 400 A series uses the industry-standard CAM-type interface, so KL-400SSMG mates directly with compatible single-pole connectors regardless of manufacturer. This makes it easy to expand or upgrade your connector stock incrementally.
What housing material is used in KL-400SSMG and why does it matter?
KL-400SSMG uses a Santoprene TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) housing rated to 105 °C. Santoprene TPV is chosen for its combination of rubber-like flexibility, heat resistance up to 105 °C, and resistance to oils, chemicals, and weathering - ideal for panel mount receptacles that remain permanently installed in demanding environments.
