CAM-LOKA is a type of insulated, locking, single-conductor cable connector manufactured by Crouse-Hinds Inc., widely used in high-power industrial and commercial electrical applications.
CAM-LOKA connectors are engineered for demanding environments where reliability, safety, and quick setup are essential. These single-conductor connectors provide secure, high-amperage electrical connections and are designed with a locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection during vibration or heavy use. The locking feature ensures stability in applications where consistent power delivery is critical, such as temporary power systems, industrial machinery, or large-scale entertainment venues.
The connectors are heavily insulated to prevent accidental contact with live conductors and reduce the risk of short circuits. Built from robust, high-durability materials, CAM-LOKA connectors can endure repeated use, mechanical stress, and exposure to environmental challenges. They accommodate a range of cable sizes and insulation types, making them a versatile solution across industrial, entertainment, and commercial power distribution systems.
CAM-LOKA connectors are typically certified under UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) standards for power connectors and distribution equipment, ensuring safety and performance in commercial and industrial installations.
Developed by Crouse-Hinds, CAM-LOKA connectors were introduced to provide a safer, more reliable alternative to standard plug connections in high-power applications. The innovative locking design set a new industry standard for secure single-conductor connections and has since influenced similar designs across the electrical and entertainment industries.
