Leviton 49M53-C Single Pole M Rhino Connector

Power Temporary Electrical Setups with the Leviton 49 Series Cam Connector

The Leviton 49M53-C is a single-pole cam-type male connector from Leviton's 49 Series, designed for high-current temporary and portable power distribution. It suits industrial and outdoor electrical applications. Key features include a 1000-volt, 898-amp rating and a crimp connection sized for 535 MCM cable.

Key Features and Benefits of This Cam-Type Connector

Built with an aluminum body and silver-plated high-conductivity alloy contacts, this connector handles heavy current loads while resisting corrosion in demanding environments. It carries UL certification recognized in both Canada and the United States, along with CSA and CE marks, supporting use across cross-border industrial projects.

Where to Use the 49M53-C Cam Connector

This connector suits temporary power distribution on job sites, event staging, portable generators, and other industrial or outdoor setups requiring quick-connect, high-amperage cable runs. It is intended for use by qualified electricians familiar with cam-lock systems, not general household wiring or low-voltage applications.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

This male connector requires a crimping tool sized for 535 MCM cable and must be paired with a compatible 49 Series female connector for a secure, rated connection. Confirm cable size matches the connector before crimping, and verify the mating connector shares the same voltage and current rating.

Additional Buying Context

Because cam-type connectors are typically sold individually, confirm you have matching male and female ends along with correctly sized cable before checkout. This connector suits contractors regularly setting up temporary power for events, construction sites, or emergency generator hookups. Check with Lumenco for current warranty coverage on this part.
