Camlock (electrical)

A camlock, (named after the Cam-lok connector originally manufactured by Cam-Lok of Cinncinati,Ohio); subsequently manufactured by others. Interchangeable connectors are made by Marinco Power Products, Leviton, Hubbell, Crouse-Hinds and other companies. The most common form is the 16 series, rated at 400 amperes with 105 °C terminations. Also in common use is the 15 series (mini-cam), rated at 150 amperes. A larger version is made denoted as the 17 series with ratings up to 760 A. A ball nose version and a longer nose standard version exist-the latter is the most common. Another version is the Posi-lok which has controlled interconnection sequencing to a panel and a shrouded connector body.The early version original connector was hot-vulcanized to the cable body;later versions use dimensio
