SAPT231 - Panel Mount Power Cable Receptacle (5 Pack)

$18.99 $51.99

Professional panel mount power receptacles designed for touring musicians, mobile DJs, and sound engineers who need secure AC power connections in flight cases, rack systems, and custom installations. These twist-lock connectors solve the common problem of power cables falling out during transport or performances.

Each receptacle handles 20 amps at 250 volts with proper three-conductor wiring for line, neutral, and ground connections. The metal latch lock mechanism prevents accidental disconnection while ensuring safe engagement and disengagement when power is off.

The twist-lock design provides a secure mechanical connection that won't vibrate loose during transport or operation. Field-serviceable construction means you can replace contacts or repair connections on the road. Each connector features durable metal housing that withstands repeated use in demanding live sound environments.

Perfect for custom rack power distribution systems, flight case power feeds, and permanent installations where reliable AC power connections are critical. Ideal for touring rigs, mobile DJ setups, church sound systems, and venue installations where equipment gets connected and disconnected frequently.

Installation requires standard electrical wiring skills and appropriate gauge wire for your application. Always disconnect power before making connections. Set of five connectors provides enough for multiple rack units or spare replacements.

Backed by Seismic Audio's one-year warranty with fast shipping to get your power distribution project completed on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

What applications are these panel mount receptacles best suited for?

These receptacles excel in touring rack systems, flight case power distribution, mobile DJ setups, and permanent installations where equipment needs frequent connection and disconnection. The twist-lock design prevents cables from falling out during transport, making them ideal for any application where vibration or movement could cause standard connections to fail.

Can I install these receptacles myself or do I need an electrician?

Installation requires basic electrical wiring skills and knowledge of AC power safety. You'll need to properly wire the three conductors (line, neutral, ground) and ensure appropriate wire gauge for your current requirements. Always follow local electrical codes and consider consulting a qualified electrician for permanent installations or high-current applications.

How do the twist-lock connectors prevent accidental disconnection?

The metal latch lock mechanism requires a deliberate twist motion to engage and disengage the connection. Unlike standard connectors that can pull out easily, these stay locked until you intentionally rotate and release them. This prevents power interruption from cable tugs, vibration, or accidental contact during performances.

What wire gauge should I use with these 20-amp receptacles?

For 20-amp applications, use 12 AWG wire minimum for line and neutral conductors, with appropriate ground wire per electrical code. Always verify your wire gauge matches your circuit breaker rating and follows local electrical codes. Undersized wire creates fire hazards and voltage drop issues that can damage connected equipment.

Are these compatible with standard AC power cables?

These are panel mount receptacles that accept male twist-lock plugs, not standard AC power cables. You'll need cables with matching twist-lock male connectors, or you can wire standard AC outlets to the receptacle end. The 20-amp, 250-volt rating makes them suitable for professional audio equipment power requirements.
