High-current capability with reliable performance is achieved by the Posi-Lok design, enabling up to 400A continuous service and reducing connection failures in demanding setups. This translates to fewer field interruptions, faster panel assembly, and lower maintenance costs during long-term operation. The E0400-142 accepts 1/0-2/0 AWG cables, broadening its applicability from feeder leads to motor control center connections, and supports quick crimp installations that improve throughput without compromising reliability. The thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) housing provides chemical and impact resistance, extending service life in manufacturing floors, warehouses, or outdoor-rated enclosures. A 600 Vac/dc rating ensures compatibility with mixed AC and DC systems, simplifying procurement and stocking for mixed-plant environments. With male gender and a standard white finish, it fits cleanly into common panel plug assemblies and aligns with NEC/CEC-compliant practices. Availability of installation sheets and datasheets further streamlines order-to-install workflows for engineers and procurement teams.

FAQs
The E0400-142 accepts 1/0-2/0 AWG cables and uses a crimp connection for secure, vibration-resistant terminations. Installation requires standard crimp tooling compatible with large-diameter conductors and proper inspection to verify a solid crimp and full conductor engagement. This approach minimizes loosening risks typical of screw-terminals and accelerates panel assembly.
The plug is rated up to 400A continuous, with a voltage rating of 600 Vac/dc. This makes it suitable for high-current distribution in both AC and DC systems, including motor feeders and power distribution panels in industrial settings.
Yes. The unit is designated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards, aligning with typical plant environments where non-hazardous electrical installations are routine. It’s a dependable choice for general panel assemblies and standard equipment enclosures.
The E0400-142 complies with NEC/CEC standards, and its area classification is Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This combination supports compliant procurement for standard industrial applications and facilitates faster approval during engineering reviews.
Using the E0400-142 delivers reliable, high-current connections with rapid crimp installation, reducing field downtime and rework. Its broad 1/0-2/0 AWG range, 600 Vac/dc rating, and non-hazardous location suitability streamline sourcing, improve install consistency, and support long-term maintenance efficiency in panel assemblies and feeders.
