High current capability and voltage rating are built into the E0400-165, delivering up to 400A continuous at 600 Vac/dc. This means fewer terminations and a reduced risk of junction failures in motors and power feeders, cutting maintenance overhead. It is designed for 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors, making it a straightforward fit for large-panel startups and retrofit projects. Crimp termination with Posi-Lok engagement provides a vibration-resistant, lock-in-place electrical interface. The robust crimp path minimizes looseness due to equipment vibration, improving reliability in washdown and outdoor environments. This plug is ideal for panel-mounted connections in new builds or upgrades, accelerating assembly in manufacturing lines. Thermoplastic elastomer housing offers chemical resistance, weather tolerance, and a durable grip under field conditions. The blue color aids identification during large builds and service work, reducing mis-matches. The TPE body supports temperature variations and contributes to long service life in industrial settings. NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification simplify regulatory clearance and end-user acceptance, while aligning with Eaton's Posi-Lok ecosystem for modular, scalable panel builds. Size and weight are optimized for standard enclosures: length 6.39 in, height 6.97 in, width 19 in, weight 2.82 lb, enabling straightforward layout planning and inventory management for control rooms and production lines.

FAQs

For 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors, use the designated crimp tooling and follow standard Eaton crimp procedures to ensure a proper, vibration-resistant connection. Verify conductor preparation, correct crimp dimension, and inspection of the Posi-Lok engagement. Plan for panel routing that minimizes bending radii and ensures clean termination within Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations per NEC/CEC guidance.
The product is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards. It is not indicated for Division or Zone hazardous environments. When used in harsh environments, ensure enclosure protection and consider additional sealing or protection methods per plant safety policies to maintain integrity and compliance.
Key specs include a continuous amperage rating up to 400A, voltage rating of 600 Vac/dc, and cable compatibility for 3/0-4/0 AWG. It is a male, crimp-type Posi-Lok plug made from Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) with a blue housing, designed for robust, terminations in power-distribution setups.
Ideal applications are heavy-duty power distribution panels, motor feeders, and control cabinets in manufacturing, processing, and automation environments. Its high current, solid vibration resistance, and compatibility with standard Eaton Posi-Lok systems support quick scale-up for panel upgrades or new equipment builds.
Helpful resources include the Posi-Lok catalog page, EB 168 installation sheet for E0400 plugs and panels, and the Eaton Specification Sheet for E0400-165. These documents provide wiring guidance, installation steps, and dimensional details to streamline procurement, setup, and compliance checks.
