Cam-Lok J Series single pole plugs and sockets

Crouse-Hinds series Cam-Lok plugs and sockets are the original cam-style single pole connectivity solution for motors, generators, indoor and outdoor lighting distribution panels, standby power and other industrial power applications.

Cam-Lok plugs and sockets replace expensive and bulky multi-conductor cables, allowing the use of lighter, single-conductor cables rated at higher amperages.  Cam-Lok connectors also provide the ability to quickly connect and disconnect without tools.

J Series Cam-Lok plugs and sockets are specifically designed for 600V maximum industrial applications where electrical equipment is exposed to harsh environments.  Ideal for portable power, power distribution, motors, generators and entertainment applications.  J Series replaces traditional hardwiring while minimising downtime and maintenance.

J Series connectors are insulated, shatter/crack-resistant and watertight, plus heat, weather, ozone, oil and abrasion-resistant.

Design features

  • Double-cam contact provides a positive, vibration-proof connection
  • Locked contacts will withstand a pulling force of 1,000 lbs.
  • No moving contact surfaces, eliminating arcing or burning
  • Contacts carefully machined from a high conductivity brass to a smooth sliding fit and easy locking action
  • Recessed contacts protected by insulating jacket that extends beyond contact ends for safety
  • Integrated strain relief system features a retaining wire that prevents cable jacket pull-away and bare conductor exposure
  • Non-metallic retaining screw provides safe, strong and reliable contact retention, and it snaps into place to prevent loss
  • Easy assembly with standard tools
