What is a Powerlock connector?
A Powerlock is a single-pole, high-current connector used to carry temporary power from generators and supplies to distribution. Each line (L1, L2, L3, neutral and earth) has its own colour-coded connector, mechanically keyed so it can only mate with the right partner.
The bayonet lock and secondary locking stop connectors uncoupling under load, and the finger-proof IP2X design means live parts can't be touched. That's why Powerlock is the standard for live events, film and TV, rental, construction and standby power worldwide.

The most common question we receive is which gender do I need? Powerlocks are not called Male and Female and this is due to how the product is built and interpreted.
Source vs Drain
Source Connectors
The Source are always used on the supply end of the chain and are best described as a socket in the traditional format. It has the female insulator and male live pin for taking power out of a supply. Most common use cases are:
- Generator output panels (panel mount source)
- On distribution boxes for taking power back out (feedthrough)
- The supply end of an extension cable
- Lug-to-source generator tails
Drain Connectors
The Drain are always used on the receiving side of the chain and are best described as the appliance inlet in the traditional format. It has the male insulator and female spring loaded receptacle to accept the live pin. Most common use cases are:
- Power distribution panels/boxes for receiving power (panel mount drain)
- The load end of an extension cable
- Lug-to-drain tails feeding equipment
