FAQs
When installing the E0400-262, ensure cables are clean and properly prepared for crimp termination. Use compatible crimp tooling to achieve a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. Verify polarization and mating alignment with the corresponding Posi-Lok panel or plug, and check continuity with a calibrated test instrument. In standard industrial environments, confirm enclosure clearance and ensure the assembly remains within the 6.39 in L and 6.97 in H footprint for a clean panel integration, minimizing risk of cable strain or flexing.
The E0400-262 uses a secure crimp connection and a thermoplastic elastomer housing designed for high-current interconnection. The combination of conductor compatibility (3/0-4/0 AWG), robust materials, and precise mating geometry preserves electrical integrity under vibration and thermal cycling. This leads to stable contact resistance, reduced heating, and improved overall efficiency for drives, feeders, and distribution blocks in automation systems.
Yes, the E0400-262 is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards. This makes it appropriate for typical factory floors, control rooms, and enclosure-mounted interconnections. Always verify local code requirements and ensure that the entire assembly, including panels and downstream components, remains within the intended area classification and environmental conditions.
Common use cases include power distribution panel interconnects for large motors, feeders to drive systems, and control cabinet power interfaces in manufacturing. Its 3/0-4/0 AWG compatibility and 600 Vac/dc rating support mixed AC/DC systems, while the 19 in width aids integration into standard 19 in enclosures. The plug’s white, durable housing facilitates clear visibility and straightforward maintenance in busy production environments.
The Posi-Lok design provides a repeatable, high-integrity crimp connection that reduces field re-terminations and downtime. Its durable TPE housing resists temperature variation and environmental exposure, lowering replacement frequency. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs, shorter outage durations, and a faster return on investment in automation upgrades and panel retrofits.
