Eaton Crouse-Hinds CEX-133-A12-316PN Cable Mounted Plug - Zone 1
Part Number: CEX-133-A12-316PN
Quick Summary
CEX-133-A12-316PN is a cable mounted plug that provides hazardous-location connectivity for unarmoured cables in industrial environments. Design teams often struggle with safe gland termination, rugged protection, and proving compliance in hazardous-area installations. It carries IECEx/ATEX Zone 1 approval, IP68/IP66 protection, and a NEMA 6P 4X rating to support mission-critical equipment. By combining robust construction with quick, crimped #10 AWG contacts, it delivers reliable connectivity while streamlining installation and maintenance. This makes it well-suited for Roughneck multi-pin connectors in mining, oil & gas, and chemical processing, reducing downtime and lifecycle costs.

FAQs
This plug uses an EEx d gland for hazardous-area terminations and provides Zone 1 IECEx/ATEX certification with IP68/IP66 protection. Plan for pre-assembled termination with #10 AWG conductors, ensure proper gland sealing, and respect the inner/outer sheath ranges (10.5-15.5 mm and 13.5-21.0 mm) to maintain ingress protection and compliant termination in unarmoured cables.
The connector is rated for 40A with #10 AWG conductors and crimp termination, offering high-conductivity silver-plated copper contacts. This combination supports reliable motor control and sensing circuits while maintaining corrosion resistance and robust electrical performance in harsh environments.
Yes. It carries IECEx/ATEX Zone 1 approval and IP68/IP66 protection, along with NEMA 6P 4X ratings, making it well-suited for offshore platforms, mining sites, and chemical plants where explosive atmospheres and harsh conditions are present.
The product conforms to NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX standards, has Zone 1 hazardous-area approval, and carries NEMA 6P 4X protection. These certifications support global compliance and cross-border equipment deployment in hazardous environments.
Pre-mated, crimped #10 AWG contacts with a robust EEx d gland simplify field termination, reduce wire termination errors, and improve seal integrity. The rugged IP-rated enclosure and corrosion-resistant contacts lower replacement frequency and service time, delivering measurable lifecycle cost savings.
