HPT Series

Power Connectors & Accessories

Our HPT Series™ Power Connectors and Accessories, an extension of our highly successful HP Series™ (Blue/Grey) Power Connector line, brings significant design improvements to the marketplace! Designed to be fully plug compatible with the original and latest industry standard products, UL Recognized, and an easier-to-use, innovative, patented, cable clamp lock design safety feature, the HPT Series™ is an ideal “first choice”, or “drop in” replacement, for your lighting fixture, video wall, special effects or power distribution interconnect needs.

HPT Series™ Power Connectors are perfect for AC power supply where a durable, latched, twist-locking, circuit-breaking connector is required, and are rated at 20A @ 250V. HPT Series™ Power Connectors can be connected or disconnected under load and are IP65 rated. Front-end safety keying features are built into our design, eliminating the safety risks of mis-mating associated with worn out master key designs in other brands.

Market Applications: Entertainment & Broadcast Lighting, LED Video Walls, Stage Power Distribution Boxes, and Powered Loud Speakers

Licensed under the following global patents: US 10823914B2, JP 6705027B2, HK 40009428A, EP 3514892B1, EP 3641070A1, DE 102018101431A1, CN 110071397A

IMPORTANT: The First UL Recognized Inline Connector for 12-3 “SO” (600V) Portable Cord as REQUIRED in “Extra Hard Usage” Applications as defined by the NEC

Our “Jumbo” inline connectors accommodate larger OD 600V rated “SO” cordage, unlike competitive products that are only UL recognized for “SJO” (300V) cordage. Article 400 of the National Electric Code defines the applications in which “Extra Hard Usage” “SO” portable cord is REQUIRED, which was not available from any connector manufacturer in the market. Until now, this required both UL and local electric code inspectors to waive this requirement, but ours is now a UL Recognized Component for both Canada and the United States.

Once Inspectors learn of this product’s availability, it is our belief that it will only be a matter of time before you are required to change out your non NEC-compliant cable connectors in these application. (See Table 400.4 of NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC) 2017 Edition.)

NOTE: In order to accommodate the larger OD’s of the 600V “SO” Cord in our jumbo connector design, the back shell locking feature was eliminated from the “Jumbo” designs. While the locking back shell is a personnel safety feature, it is not a requirement of the NEC or UL.
