Eaton Specification Sheet - E0400-263
High current capability and wide cable range enable heavy feeders with 3/0-4/0 AWG pass-through, supporting up to 400A continuous. This reduces the number of terminations within power distribution panels and minimizes field rework in manufacturing environments where uptime is critical. The Posi-Lok design provides a vibration-resistant connection, preserving electrical integrity on conveyors, presses, and packaging lines, which translates to fewer unscheduled outages. A crimp connection delivers fast, repeatable terminations, cutting installation time and labor costs while improving consistency across multiple assemblies. With a 600 Vac/dc rating, the E0400-263 supports mixed AC/DC systems, simplifying inventory management and reducing the need for separate adapters in complex control panels. The Thermoplastic Elastomer housing offers chemical and abrasion resistance, extending service life in harsh industrial settings, including washdown areas. Dimensions of 6.39 in length, 6.97 in height, and 19 in width, plus a 2.82 lb weight, enable straightforward mounting in standard enclosures and compatibility with common panel layouts. NEC/CEC compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location certification streamline regulatory approvals and installation planning, delivering measurable reductions in risk and project delays.

FAQs
The E0400-263 is explicitly designed for 3/0-4/0 AWG cables and uses a crimp connection intended for high-current terminations. For best results, use an appropriate crimp tool and follow manufacturer torque guidance to ensure a reliable, vibration-resistant connection in standard power distribution panels and enclosures.
The E0400-263 conforms to NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Its 600 Vac/dc rating supports mixed AC/DC systems, enabling compliant operation in general industrial environments without special hazard classifications.
Use the correct crimp tool specified for thermoplastic elastomer connectors, prepare conductors to the 3/0-4/0 AWG size, and verify the crimp is fully seated and visually inspected. Proper tooling and termination practice prevent loosening due to vibration and reduce rework in panel assemblies.
Yes. The E0400-263 carries a 600 Vac/dc rating, making it appropriate for installations that requir e both AC and DC power control within the same panel. Ensure all associated equipment and enclosures comply with NEC/CEC guidance for mixed-energy systems.
By delivering a secure, vibration-resistant crimp connection with high current capability, the E0400-263 reduces downtime from loose terminations and minimizes field rework. Its durable TPE construction and standard panel compatibility translate to longer service life and lower maintenance costs over the lifetime of the installation.
