Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds E0400-245 Posi-Lok plug provides high-current, secure power connections for panel and plug assemblies. This addresses unreliable mating and field wear by delivering a robust, crimped connection for heavy feeder cables. The design aligns with NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, supporting safe operation in typical industrial environments. By leveraging blue thermoplastic elastomer housing and a 1/0-2/0 AWG capacity, you gain durable performance that reduces rework and simplifies maintenance. This solution also streamlines procurement and inventory management while enabling consistent electrical integrity across distributed power systems. It pairs effectively with Posi-Lok panels and related plugs for a cohesive power-distribution strategy.

High-current capability up to 400A continuous translates to fewer components and a cleaner panel layout, cutting installation time and material costs in motor-control centers and distribution panels. This reduces heat buildup risk and improves system reliability in demanding environments, especially where large feeders are required. Cable compatibility supports 1/0-2/0 AWG with a crimp termination, delivering a robust, vibration-resistant connection ideal for dynamic industrial settings such as conveyors and stamping presses. The 600 Vac/dc rating enables use across both AC and DC power applications, reducing SKU proliferation and ensuring compliance in mixed-technology facilities. The crimp connection design provides field-installation speed and repeatable performance, minimizing rework and ensuring consistent contact integrity. Durable blue thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) housing improves identification and resilience in cluttered control panels, while contributing to impact resistance and long service life. Compliance-oriented features include NEC/CEC alignment and ordinary/non-hazardous location suitability, supporting faster procurement approvals and safer operations in standard industrial environments.

FAQs
The E0400-245 Posi-Lok plug is designed to mate with Eaton Crouse-Hinds panels and related plugs, using a crimp termination for a secure, vibration-resistant connection. It supports 1/0-2/0 AWG conductors and is sized for typical panel densities found in MCCs and distribution panels. When pairing, verify catalog number E0400-245 and ensure panel cavities accept Posi-Lok configurations to maintain UL/NEC compliance.
This plug supports up to 400A continuous current and is rated for 600 Vac/dc. It accepts 1/0-2/0 AWG conductors and uses a crimp connection for reliability. These specifications make it suitable for high-load feeders in industrial power distribution, while maintaining safe operation within ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per NEC/CEC standards.
The E0400-245 is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, aligning with NEC/CEC standards. It is not rated for Class I/II hazardous environments. For installations in hazardous locations, consult Eaton’s hazardous-location solutions or alternative products that meet stricter IP, SIL, or hazardous-area certifications to ensure compliance and safety.
Posi-Lok crimp connections offer secure, repeatable mating and fast field installation, reducing rework and contact resistance concerns. The system is vibration-resistant, which is important in conveyors, presses, and other high-dynamic applications. This design also minimizes mating inconsistencies across assemblies, supporting consistent performance in dense control panels and modular power distribution layouts.
Official resources include the Posi-Lok catalog page, EB 168 installation sheet, and the Eaton specification sheet for E0400-245. These documents provide installation steps, crimp tooling guidance, and electrical ratings to help ensure correct assembly, testing, and compliance in panel builds and field installations.
