Eaton Crouse-Hinds APQ648 Motor Plug - NEMA 4, 60A, 600 Vac

The APQ648 is built to handle higher motor currents with a 60A amperage rating, enabling direct connections to mid-range motors and reducing terminal congestion while protecting windings from overloads. This translates to improved reliability on conveyors, pumps, and other critical machinery in automated lines. Its cable diameter range of 0.50 to 1.45 inches provides flexibility for common motor harnesses, reducing the need for adapters and simplifying spares management in maintenance programs. Configured as a three-wire, four-pole plug with Style 2 grounding, it delivers a clear, code-compliant pathway for secure terminations, minimizing grounding issues and installation errors in panel boards and motor starters. Copper-free aluminum housing lowers weight and corrosion risk, improving serviceability in washdown and outdoor environments, where frequent servicing is common. The 600 Vac / 250 Vdc rating and 50–400 Hz frequency coverage support a broad set of motors across regions, enabling global equipment standards without part proliferation. With a NEMA 4 enclosure rating and NEC/CEC compliance, the APQ648 offers rugged protection and regulatory alignment for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, reducing downtime and inspection overhead. The compact dimensions (4.25 in length/depth, 4.875 in width) and a 2.88 lb weight simplify mounting in tight control panels and on motor frames, accelerating installation and reducing panel space requirements. Designed for the Arktite APQ family, the plug ensures fast mating and long-life connections, improving uptime in demanding automation environments.
