Posi-Lok connection design with double set screws provides a secure, vibration‑resistant mate even in demanding industrial environments. This design reduces loosening risk during start-up and operation, improving reliability of feeder and panel connections. In practice, technicians appreciate the confidence of a mechanical lock that guides proper alignment and minimizes torque sensitivity during field installation. This plug is rated up to 400A continuous and accepts 3/0-4/0 AWG cable, enabling large feeder connections without splicing. The 600 Vac/dc rating supports diverse motor drives and power distribution schemes, helping you consolidate parts and simplify procurement for large projects. Constructed from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) in a brown finish, the E0400-299 offers chemical resistance, impact durability, and flexibility for in-field assembly. The material choice reduces damage from incidental contact and simplifies grip in gloves, improving installation speed. The female connector with a double-set-screw connection provides a robust interface for panel-mounted plugs, compatible with standard 19‑inch enclosures and common power distribution configurations. The design supports quick mating and safe disassembly for maintenance without compromising conductor integrity. Compliance with NEC/CEC standards and ordinary-location area classification ensures code‑compliant installations in typical industrial settings, reducing engineering risk and accelerating approvals. For teams pursuing safety audits, the documented standards alignment helps meet regulatory requirements with confidence.

FAQs
To install, prepare 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors, insert the wires into the female receptacle, and tighten both set screws to specification. Confirm proper alignment before mating with the mating half, then verify snug torque and insulation integrity. This process minimizes hot spots and ensures a secure, vibration-resistant connection in standard 19-inch panels.
The E0400-299 is rated for up to 400A continuous and supports 600 Vac/dc. It accepts 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors, uses a double set screw connection, and comes with a brown thermoplastic elastomer housing for durable field service in ordinary locations.
No. The E0400-299 specifies an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification and NEC/CEC standards compliance. For hazardous environments, consult alternative Crouse-Hinds solutions designed to meet IP, explosion-proof, or hazardous-location approvals.
The plug uses a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) body for chemical resistance and impact durability. It features a robust double-set-screw mating interface and a brown finish that aids grip and visibility in industrial settings, contributing to faster, more reliable field wiring and longer service life.
