Single-pole male connector for temporary power

The Hubbell Series 16 single-pole male connector is built for temporary electrical power distribution. It accepts cable sizes from 2/0 to 4/0 AWG and uses a taper nose style with double set screw terminals. The thermoplastic elastomer housing includes an Insulgrip design to assist with assembly and disassembly. It is rated for up to 400 A AC or DC at 600V AC or 250V DC.

Sustained load performance

Brass contacts with a single cam design carry the rated 400 A continuously within the listed voltage limits. The connector meets NEMA Types 3R, 4X and 12 enclosure requirements for protection against rain, hose-directed water and dust. UL94 HB flammability rating confirms the housing material resists burning under prolonged operation. Double set screw terminals maintain conductor position during vibration and thermal cycling.

Deciding specification: cable range and amperage

The connector only accepts conductors from 2/0 to 4/0 AWG and is rated at 400 A maximum. Buyers who need to terminate smaller gauge wire or require a higher continuous current rating cannot use this device. Compatibility is limited to Series 15, Series 16 and Insulgrip devices meeting UL1691 specifications.

Questions about this item

Will the connector run hot or draw extra power when it carries 400 A continuously?

The connector is rated for 400 A AC or DC at up to 600 V AC or 250 V DC; it has no active components so it adds no power draw of its own.

What cable size and termination tools are needed to install this male connector?

It accepts 2/0 to 4/0 AWG cable and uses double set screw terminals; a torque wrench or screwdriver suited to the terminal screws is required.

Can this Series 16 plug mate with the older Series 15 receptacles already on my distribution panel?

Yes — it is compatible with Series 15, Series 16 and Insulgrip devices and meets UL 1691 specifications for interoperability.
