Product Description
Overview
The KUPO PL-3MPX Powerlead T1 connector is built for single-phase entertainment power systems that need a compact locking interface. Its twist-and-lock design gives positive mating engagement, while IEC 60320-1 certification with breaking capacity supports professional fixture and power-supply workflows.
