What is a Single Pole Connector?

05/02/2018

A single pole connector is best used for making power connections, where multi core cables would be more difficult to uses, due to size, weight, and cable bend radius. 

Single pole connectors are used globally, except for America where a camlock connector is more commonly used. The name for this type of connectors are referred to as Powerlock type connectors. So how does it work. 

The connectors are individually keyed, colour coded, and IP67 when mated. We can also supply environmental caps to support IP Ratings when the connectors are not in use.
