PowerCon Connector Manufacturer
Verchil supplies PowerCon connectors for professional power input, power output and equipment power distribution. The product range includes 16A PowerCon TRUE1 plugs, 20A PowerCon connectors, PowerCon chassis sockets and panel mount power connectors for stage lighting, LED displays, audio equipment, communication cabinets and industrial power systems.
Two lines sit under this page and they are not interchangeable outdoors. The 16A PowerCon TRUE1 range is sealed to IP 65 in the mated condition — specify it for outdoor runs and weather-exposed positions. The 20A PowerCon range carries no IP sealing and belongs indoors, in racks, distros and equipment panels. Both lock mechanically, and both use blue/grey keying so power in and power out cannot be crossed.
PowerCon Connector Types Available from Verchil
Verchil provides different PowerCon connector types for cable-end assembly, equipment panel mounting and power input/output wiring. The product range covers PowerCon TRUE1 cable connectors, PowerCon chassis connectors, standard blue/grey PowerCon connectors and 20A PowerCon panel sockets.
The dividing line between them is sealing: the 16A TRUE1 models are IP 65 rated in the mated condition, the 20A models are unsealed and indoor-only.
For a technical explanation of PowerCon wiring, blue/grey keying and TRUE1 selection, see Verchil’s PowerCon Guide and PowerCON TRUE1 Guide.

16A PowerCon TRUE1 Cable Connectors
Verchil 16A PowerCon TRUE1 cable connectors are used for secure single-phase AC power connection in stage lighting, LED display cabinets and outdoor power systems. The NAC3FX-W and NAC3MX-W models are suitable for cable-end assembly and are designed for stable locking, cable retention and reliable power transmission.
For outdoor power connection and TRUE1-specific applications, read the PowerCON TRUE1 Guide. For complete cabinet wiring — power feed, data and sealing on one wall — see Verchil’s Outdoor LED Display Waterproof Connector Solutions.
16A PowerCon Chassis Connectors for Equipment Panels
Verchil PowerCon chassis connectors are designed for equipment panels, lighting fixtures, power distribution boxes and outdoor enclosures. These panel-mounted connectors provide a secure power input/output interface and can be matched with corresponding PowerCon cable connectors.
For stage lighting equipment using PowerCon, XLR, RJ45 and waterproof cable glands together, see Verchil’s Stage Lighting Connector Solutions.

20A PowerCon Cable Connectors for Power Input and Output
Verchil 20A PowerCon cable connectors are suitable for professional power input and output wiring in stage lighting, audio equipment and indoor power distribution systems. The blue connector is typically used for power input, while the grey connector is used for power output. This keyed structure helps prevent incorrect mating between input and output circuits.
These 20A connectors are indoor components and are not sealed against water ingress — for outdoor or weather-exposed positions use the 16A PowerCon TRUE1 range above.
For a complete explanation of blue and grey PowerCon differences, wiring method and safety notes, read Verchil’s PowerCon Guide.
20A PowerCon Chassis Sockets for Panel Mount Power Interfaces
Verchil 20A PowerCon chassis sockets are used as panel-mounted power interfaces on lighting fixtures, amplifiers, power distributors and equipment enclosures. The latching lock structure helps prevent accidental disconnection caused by vibration, handling or frequent stage installation.
These sockets carry no IP sealing rating of their own; for weather-exposed panels use the 16A PowerCon TRUE1 chassis range instead.
For applications requiring higher-current industrial power connectors, Verchil also provides heavy duty connectors and related heavy duty power connector guides.
Why Source PowerCon Connectors from Verchil
Verchil PowerCon connectors are designed for secure locking, stable power transmission, and reliable equipment connection.
The product range covers cable-end plugs, chassis sockets, 16A TRUE1-compatible connectors, and 20A PowerCon connector options for stage, audio, LED display, and industrial equipment applications.
Assembled PowerCon leads, not only loose connectors — Verchil terminates PowerCon connectors onto your specified cable and delivers finished power leads ready to install. Blue-to-grey link cables, TRUE1 input tails and custom-length distribution loops are built to your cable type (PVC, TPU or rubber), conductor size, jacket colour and length. Send the two end types, the cable spec and the length, and we quote from drawing.
The PowerCon product line is supported by stable production, drawing confirmation, sample inspection, and flexible customization.

PowerCon Connector FAQ
What is the rated current and voltage?
It depends on the line. The 16A PowerCon TRUE1 models — NAC3FX-W, NAC3MX-W, NAC3FPX, NAC3MPX and NAC3PX — are rated 16A rms at 250V AC, or 20A in the USA. The 20A models — NAC3FCA, NAC3FCB, NAC3MPA and NAC3MPB — are rated 20A at 250V AC to EN 61984 and UL 1977. Both cover the supply requirements of typical stage lighting and audio equipment; the full figures are in the specification tables above.
Does this plug have a lock?
With a lock. It uses a reliable rotary locking system (Twist Lock), which can be locked by rotation after insertion to prevent the power supply from falling off due to vibration during the performance.
Can PowerCon connectors be disconnected under load?
Only the TRUE1 line. Standard blue and grey PowerCon connectors have no breaking capacity — they must not be connected or disconnected while the circuit is live. The 16A PowerCon TRUE1 series is rated for connection and disconnection under load, which is why it is specified for rigs where fixtures get re-patched without shutting the power down.
Do PowerCon connectors need to be soldered?
No. PowerCon connectors use screw terminals inside the housing — strip the conductor, insert it and tighten with a flat-blade screwdriver. No soldering and no crimp tool are needed, which is what makes them practical to terminate on site.
