Eaton ARE3312 Receptacle Assembly - NEMA 4, 30A
Part Number: ARE3312
Quick Summary
ARE3312 receptacle assembly provides rugged, protected electrical connections for industrial machinery enclosures in harsh environments. This design reduces field wiring errors and moisture ingress by combining a robust three-wire, three-pole configuration with a spring-door receptacle. It meets NEC/CEC standards and is rated NEMA 4 for weatherproof performance in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. With copper-free aluminum construction and a 50–400 Hz, 600 Vac/250 Vdc rating, it supports a wide range of industrial applications while delivering long service life. For engineers, the 3/4 inch trade size simplifies mounting in standard enclosures and reduces installation time. In procurement terms, the ARE3312 offers predictable lead times and consistent, copper-free material specification that supports cost control and compliance reporting.

Eaton Specification Sheet - ARE3312
Feature: Copper-free aluminum construction. This reduces weight and resists corrosion in challenging environments. Business impact: longer service life translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer field failures. Application: ideal for Arktite ARE receptacles in outdoor enclosures and humid plant areas. Feature: 30A amperage and 600 Vac/250 Vdc rating across 50–400 Hz. Business impact: supports mixed-voltage systems and drives without rewiring, speeding up commissioning. Application: suitable for automation panels, motor control centers, and industrial equipment with variable frequency drives. Feature: Three-wire, three-pole configuration with Style 1 grounding and spring door. Business impact: improves fault isolation and ingress protection, reducing downtime during maintenance. Application: preferred where reliable enclosure sealing and safe disconnection are critical, such as robotics cells and conveyors. Feature: 3/4 inch trade size and spring-door receptacle style. Business impact: simplifies mounting in standard cutouts and eases field servicing, shortening project schedules. Application: commonly used in Arktite ARE installations in new builds and retrofits. Feature: NEMA 4 rating and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations classification; NEC/CEC compliance. Business impact: guarantees weather resistance and regulatory alignment with minimal complexity. Application: industrial facilities that require robust, code-compliant receptacle assemblies in non-hazardous zones. Feature: Compatibility with Arktite line and accessible installation resources. Business impact: streamlines BOM and maintenance planning, reducing procurement risk. Application: ideal for retrofit projects and new builds seeking design consistency.

FAQs
ARE3312 is designed for Arktite ARE installations and uses a standard 3/4 inch trade size. It mounts in compatible enclosure cutouts with a spring-door receptacle that provides ready access for maintenance while maintaining a sealed enclosure. This simplifies panel builds and retrofit projects by preserving a consistent mounting footprint across the ARE line.
The ARE3312 provides a 30A amperage rating with a voltage rating of 600 Vac / 250 Vdc and supports 50–400 Hz. This combination accommodates systems with motor drives or mixed-voltage configurations common in automation and process equipment, reducing the need for additional adapters and minimizing wiring errors during commissioning.
Yes. ARE3312 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries a NEMA 4 rating for weatherproof performance. It complies with NEC/CEC standards, making it suitable for non-hazardous industrial environments where reliable sealing, ingress protection, and regulatory alignment are critical for long-term operation.
Copper-free aluminum reduces corrosion risk and maintenance frequency compared with copper-based components. Regular inspection should focus on the spring door mechanism, enclosure seals, and mounting hardware. The material choice also minimizes borne maintenance costs over the product lifecycle, contributing to lower total cost of ownership in harsh environments.
ARE3312 delivers predictable lead times, fewer field wiring errors, and longer service life due to corrosion-resistant copper-free aluminum. These factors translate to lower maintenance and downtime, faster commissioning, simpler BOM management, and improved compliance reporting, delivering measurable total-cost-of-ownership reductions in both retrofit and new-build projects.
