High-current compatibility enables up to 400 A continuous service with 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors. This reduces the number of parallel connections required and minimizes voltage drop in large panel feeders, improving overall system efficiency and reliability in distribution panels. Use in motor control centers and panel assemblies where robust current handling is essential for uptime and performance. Secure double set screw connections provide superior retention in vibration-prone environments, lowering the risk of connection loosening and intermittent faults. This translates to fewer field repulls and reduced maintenance labor during routine servicing of industrial equipment. The 600 Vac/dc rating supports both AC and DC applications, enabling versatile use across feeds, drives, and control circuits without swapping connectors. Applications include power distribution panels, enclosures, and field-installed power panels in ordinary locations, delivering consistent performance and long life. Thermoplastic elastomer TPE housing offers chemical resistance and durability, while the blue color aids quick visual identification in complex wiring layouts, reducing installation time and error. NEC/CEC compliance and ordinary-location suitability help ensure regulatory alignment across plant sites, supporting faster audits and safer operation. The Posi-Lok E0400 ecosystem provides modularity and quick field replacement, lowering spare-part counts and accelerating service turnarounds for retrofit projects and expansions.

FAQs
The E0400-285 is designed for 3/0–4/0 AWG cables and supports up to 400 A continuous with a 600 Vac/dc rating. It is used with Eaton Crouse-Hinds Posi-Lok panels and plugs, fits ordinary/non-hazardous locations per NEC/CEC, and is ideal for power distribution panels and motor control applications where reliable current handling is required.
Install by aligning with the mating panel or plug, insert the 3/0–4/0 AWG conductors, and secure them with the double-set-screw terminals as specified. Ensure the cavity is clean and dry, verify polarity and torque per the installation sheet, and perform a continuity test after assembly to confirm a vibration-resistant, locked connection.
Key specs include 400 A continuous amperage rating, 3/0–4/0 AWG cable compatibility, 600 Vac/dc voltage rating, a female connector with double-set-screw termination, and a blue thermoplastic elastomer housing. It is designed for ordinary/ non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards for reliable industrial use.
The E0400-285 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This combination provides regulatory confidence for typical plant environments and supports compliance during inspections and audits without specialized explosion-protected or hazardous-area certifications.
By delivering a secure, vibration-resistant connection with up to 400 A capacity and 600 Vac/dc rating, the plug reduces downtime, lowers maintenance labor, and minimizes spare-part variety. Its compatibility with the Posi-Lok ecosystem streamlines replacements and retrofits, delivering faster service turnarounds and improved project ROI in power distribution and control-panel upgrades.
