| Quantity: | |
This finished power extension cable uses Amphenol HPT‑3 series industry‑standard keyed power connectors: one end fitted with HPT‑3‑M male cable plug, the other end fitted with HPT‑3‑F female cable receptacle. It is a load‑breakable interconnection solution for AC mains power, supports plugging / unplugging under load conditions, and adopts physical keying geometry to prevent wrong‑phase mis‑mating safety hazards.
The connector shell is high‑impact PA66‑GF30 reinforced nylon, UV‑stable for outdoor venue use. Built‑in spring steel quick‑release latch ensures anti‑vibration locking and avoids accidental disconnection during stage movement. Mated pair achieves IP65 dust‑proof / water‑jet‑proof performance, suitable for temporary outdoor live‑event power distribution.
Contacts adopt silver‑plated screw‑clamp termination for reliable cable connection. The cable assembly is widely deployed for stage lighting fixtures, large‑screen LED video walls, powered loud‑speakers and event power distribution boxes. Custom cable length, custom cable gauge / outer jacket material available; complies with UL, VDE IEC61984, RoHS‑2.0 standards

Advantages
Keyed Anti‑Mis‑Mating Safety Design
Built‑in physical key profile prevents cross‑phase wrong insertion, eliminates safety risk of mis‑wiring in multi‑circuit stage power systems.
Load‑Break Capability (Safe Connect‑Disconnect Under Power)
HPT‑3 series is true mains power connector certified for making / breaking live circuits, no requirement to fully cut power before plug‑unplug operation for event‑site fast re‑routing
Latch‑Lock Vibration‑Proof Connection
Robust spring‑metal snap latch prevents accidental pull‑off caused by cable‑tugging, equipment vibration or stage movement.
IP65 Outdoor‑Grade Sealing When Mated
With matched grommet backshell; dust‑tight and jet‑water‑resistant for outdoor live‑shows, open‑air stages, rain‑exposed venue power distribution.
UV‑Sturdy Reinforced Nylon Shell
PA66‑GF30 housing resists sunlight UV ageing, mechanical knocks and impacts on busy event‑site environment.

FAQ
A: Yes, HPT‑3 series is certified load‑break connector conforming to IEC 61984, rated for making‑breaking under load. Still follow site electrical safety procedures.
A: No. IP65 rating is valid only when male and female are fully inserted and latch is closed. Separated plugs are open and not water‑proof. For unused ports, protective dust‑caps are required for outdoor deployment.
A: For full‑rated 16‑20 A continuous operation, select ≥2.5 mm² stranded flexible rubber power cable; for short‑distance low‑duty‑cycle application, 1.5 mm² is acceptable.
A: Yes, mechanical mating interface is drop‑in compatible with HP‑series legacy connectors, while HPT‑3 improves cable‑clamping structure and material UV‑resistance performance.
