Eaton Crouse-Hinds CEX-133-B-12-354-PN - Zone 1 Plug
Part Number: CEX-133-B-12-354-PN-CH
Quick Summary
CEX-133-B-12-354-PN is a rugged cable-mounted plug designed for hazardous‑location wiring in demanding industrial environments. This connectors solution simplifies field assembly by integrating a sealed Eex d gland and a robust electrical interface for unarmoured cables up to 30A. Manufacturers and engineers often struggle with sealing reliability, gland compatibility, and regulatory compliance when wiring in Zone 1 conditions; this plug addresses those pain points with certified protection and durable construction. Key certifications include IECEx/ATEX Zone 1 approval, IP66/IP68 ingress protection, and NEMA 4X 6P enclosure rating, ensuring safe operation outdoors and in corrosive environments. By streamlining installation and improving long-term reliability, it supports faster commissioning, lower maintenance costs, and compliant hazardous-location wiring for control panels and field junctions.

FAQs
This connector supports unarmoured cables with inner sheath 13.5–20.5 mm and outer sheath 18.0–27.5 mm, using a crimp Pin contact and a built‑in EEx d gland. Ensure shell size 12, copper conductors (#12 AWG), and correct gland sizing to maintain IP66/IP68 sealing and Zone 1 compliance during installation.
IECEx/ATEX Zone 1 certification confirms suitability for hazardous locations where flammable atmospheres may be present. NEC/CEC standards indicate electrical safety and performance requirements across North American and international markets. Together, they reduce project risk by ensuring regulatory compliance and proven protection in volatile environments.
Yes. The connector is rated for 30A with #12 AWG copper contacts, making it appropriate for control circuits and smaller motor loads in hazardous locations. Use the crimp termination as specified to maintain current capacity and seal integrity.
IP66/IP68 protect against dust, water ingress, and immersion under defined conditions, while NEMA 4X offers corrosion resistance in washdown and outdoor settings. Together, they minimize downtime, reduce maintenance frequency, and extend service life in challenging environments typical of industrial facilities.
The single, approved hazardous-location plug reduces assembly time, inventory complexity, and risk of noncompliance. Long-term benefits include fewer field faults, lower replacement costs, and faster commissioning, resulting in lower total cost of ownership for control panels and field connections.
