Quick Summary
Posi-Lok E0400 plug is a high-current, crimped power connector designed for up to 400A continuous service in industrial panels. In practice, engineers often struggle with loose connections, vibration-induced wear, and maintenance downtime; this plug delivers secure, repeatable terminations that resist harsh environments. It is NEC/CEC compliant and rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, with a 600 Vac/dc rating to cover mixed power needs. For panel builders and integrators, its rugged 3/0–4/0 AWG crimp capability and standard 19 inch enclosure compatibility translate into faster installs and lower lifecycle costs.

Feature: Up to 400A continuous rating. Business Impact: Reduces the number of required connectors and minimizes heat buildup in power feeds, cutting wiring complexity and maintenance overhead. Application: Ideal for high-current feeders in power distribution panels and 19 inch enclosures, supporting 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors. Feature: Crimp termination with a secure connection. Business Impact: Delivers durable, vibration-resistant contacts that lower rework after start-up in manufacturing environments. Application: Suitable for equipment subject to vibration or frequent cycling, including conveyors and stamping lines. Feature: 600 Vac/dc rating. Business Impact: Allows mixed AC/DC loads without swapping connectors, simplifying stock and training. Application: Effective in control panels and feeder assemblies where both AC and DC services are present. Feature: Thermoplastic elastomer TPE body, color White. Business Impact: Provides chemical and temperature resistance along with visible, cleanability-friendly housing. Application: Useful in production floors and clean rooms where enclosure visibility and durability matter. Feature: Compatible dimensions for standard enclosures (6.39 in depth, 6.97 in height, 19 in width). Business Impact: Ensures easy drop-in integration with existing 19 inch systems, reducing cabinet design time. Application: Panel builds and retrofit projects requiring predictable physical fit. Feature: Documentation and standards alignment (NEC/CEC). Business Impact: Supports compliance-driven procurement and faster approval cycles. Application: Procurement and installations in facilities subject to NEC/CEC rules and ordinary/non-hazardous location criteria.
