Feature: Up to 400A continuous current. Business impact: Enables high-load feeders with reduced connector counts, lowering system complexity and installation time. Application: motor drives and large power distribution panels in non-hazardous environments. The higher current rating translates to fewer parallel connections and improved efficiency during peak loads. Feature: Cable size compatibility 1/0-2/0 AWG. Business impact: Eliminates the need for frequent cable size changes or adapters, simplifying design and procurement. Application: main feeders and panel interconnects in industrial plants, where space is at a premium and reliability is critical. Feature: Crimp connection type. Business impact: Delivers repeatable, vibration-resistant connections that resist loosening from phase-related stresses and equipment motion. Application: field installations on harsh-floor environments, reducing maintenance cycles and unexpected outages. Feature: Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material. Business impact: Provides chemical and abrasion resistance, extending service life in oily or gritty environments. Application: connector housings inside enclosures, control cabinets, and outdoor panels. Feature: Voltage rating 600 Vac/dc. Business impact: Supports both AC and DC systems in a single plug family, simplifying inventory and engineering validation. Application: power distribution panels, drives, and control circuits across facilities with mixed voltage requirements. Feature: Product dimensions and weight. Business impact: Compact footprint (6.39 in length, 6.97 in height, 19 in width) and manageable weight (2.82 lb) ease integration in tight enclosures. Application: retrofit and new-build projects where space planning is essential for reliable assembly and serviceability.

FAQs

The E0400-243 supports 1/0-2/0 AWG cables and uses a crimp connection, making it compatible with common high-current feeders used in power distribution panels. Its 400A continuous rating matches many industrial loads, while NEC/CEC compliance ensures electrical compatibility across most facilities with ordinary/non-hazardous locations.
Its up to 400A continuous rating combined with a secure crimp interface provides reliable, high-current connections even in vibration-prone environments. The thermoplastic elastomer housing adds durability, while the 600 Vac/dc rating supports both AC and DC systems found in motors, drives, and distribution panels.
Yes. The plug carries NEC/CEC standards alignment and is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, suitable for standard plant environments where safety and code compliance are essential for ongoing operations and maintenance planning.
Installation uses a crimp connection to secure the 1/0-2/0 AWG conductors into the female E0400-243 plug. For best results, follow the EB 168 instruction sheet and Eaton’s installation guidance to ensure a consistent, vibration-resistant connection and compliant termination within the enclosure.
The combination of a robust crimp interface and a durable TPE housing reduces loosening under vibration and minimizes field servicing. Its high current rating and DC/AC compatibility support longer intervals between interventions, lowering lifecycle costs and improving system availability in demanding industrial environments.
