PowerCON® is the trade name for a locking 3 pole AC mains connector produced by Neutrik inc.
PowerCON connectors come in two versions, with 20 and 32 ampere capacity.
Though similar in appearance to a Neutrik speakON connector, they are keyed differently and will not mate.

It's important to note that the powerCON connectors do not have a breaking capacity. This means they are not intended to be disconnected while under load. Doing so may result in arcing on the connector which could lead to a catastrophic failure.
PowerCON TRUE1, with a 16 amp rating, has been recently introduced with the ability for connections to be broken under load. These connectors are yellow and black to be easily distinguished.
