The tail of the connector insulator body is trimmable to fit the cable outer diameter. Another version is the Posi-Lok, which features keyed, shrouded connectors, and panels with sequencing interlocks. [3] Camlock is generally used where temporary connections of 3-phase and/or more than 50 A are needed.
A small metal, plastic or fiberglass junction box may form part of an electrical conduit or thermoplastic-sheathed cable (TPS) wiring system in a building. If designed for surface mounting, it is used mostly in ceilings, concrete or concealed behind an access panel—particularly in domestic or commercial buildings. [2]
These connectors are common in live event power distribution. Many event production companies use power distributors with camlock connectors for feeder cable, and 12 or more L21-30 connectors which can each be broken out to three individual 120 V circuits via the use of a stringer box.

The push–pull connector is a type of cable interconnect that provides a strong locking mechanism that is only released by squeezing the connector body, thus preventing accidental disconnects. The connector is cylindrical, enabling a wide range of body styles and configurations such as low or high voltage multipin, coaxial, triaxial, fluid and ...
Twist-on wire connectors are a type of electrical connector used to fasten two or more low-voltage (or extra-low-voltage) electrical conductors. They are widely used in North America and several European countries in residential, commercial and industrial building power wiring, but have been banned in some other jurisdictions.
Line Source connectors (top) mated with Line Drain connectors (bottom). Panel Drain (female) connectors, for feeding power in to a portable distribution cabinet. Powerlock is a range of single-pole electrical connectors used for temporary high-current, low-voltage (up to 1000 V AC) applications, [2] similar to but considered safer than camlock ...
Pin 1 is typically indicated on the body of the connector by a red or raised "V" mark. The corresponding wire in a ribbon cable is usually indicated by red coloration, a raised molded ridge, or markings printed onto the cable insulation. On the connector pin 2 is opposite pin 1, pin 3 is next to pin 1 along the length of the connector, and so ...
Box connectors join conduit to a junction box or other electrical box. A typical box connector is inserted into a knockout in a junction box, with the threaded end then being secured with a ring (called a lock nut ) from within the box, as a bolt would be secured by a nut.
