The E0400-161 plug is rated for up to 400A continuous current, enabling a single, reliable connection for large feeders and minimizing the need for parallel terminations. This translates to tangible business impact: faster wiring, reduced labor time, and lower risk of failed terminations in critical power paths for panels and equipment housings. In practical applications, the 3/0-4/0 AWG compatibility covers a wide range of feeders, simplifying design and stocking for industrial automation projects. The crimp connection delivers a vibration-resistant termination that stands up to harsh environments, improving uptime in manufacturing lines and data-center-related enclosures alike. Built from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and colored green for quick visual verification, the plug resists daily wear and chemical exposure while maintaining flexibility for field service. This combination supports safer, more compliant installs in ordinary locations under NEC/CEC guidelines, reducing rework and warranty costs. Installation is streamlined by specifying a standard E0400-161 plug across panels and distribution boards, ensuring compatibility with Posi-Lok panels and plugs catalogs. The plug’s dimensions—6.39 in length, 6.97 in height, and 19 in width—facilitate predictable fitment in standard rack and enclosure footprints, while a weight of 2.82 lb keeps assembly manageable on-site. Overall, this connector enables efficient, scalable power distribution in industrial environments, aligning with best practices for reliability, safety, and total cost of ownership.

FAQs

The E0400-161 plug is part of Eaton Crouse-Hinds Posi-Lok family and is designed for use with power distribution panels and equipment enclosures that require a high-current, crimped connection. It accepts 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors and is suited for ordinary/non-hazardous locations under NEC/CEC. For best results, reference the EB 168 installation sheet and the Posi-Lok catalog pages to verify mating components and panel compatibility.
The E0400-161 plug is rated for up to 400A continuous current and supports a voltage rating of 600 Vac/dc. It uses a crimp connection for secure terminations and is designed to handle large feeders (3/0-4/0 AWG) in industrial power distribution, reducing the need for multiple parallel connections and improving reliability.
No, the E0400-161 plug is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per its area classification. It is intended for standard industrial environments where NEC/CEC compliance is required but without hazardous-location ratings. For hazardous areas, select an alternative approved for those classifications.
The plug adheres to NEC/CEC standards, aligning with common U.S. and Canadian electrical codes. Its Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location rating reinforces suitability for typical industrial facilities, enabling code-compliant, safe installations in panel and enclosure applications.
Eaton provides catalog and installation resources for Posi-Lok components, including the Posi-Lok catalog page and EB 168 instruction sheets. These materials support accurate part selection, proper crimped terminations, and faster commissioning, reducing field labor time and the likelihood of rework, which translates to lower maintenance and operating costs over the system lifecycle.
