Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1012-103 Cam-Lok plug - 315A
Part Number: E1012-103
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok F Series E1012 plug is a high-current power connector designed for rugged industrial environments. It supports 1/0-3/0 AWG conductors at 120 Vac with continuous ratings up to 315A and intermittent ratings up to 550A. This addresses a common pain point for engineers: delivering reliable, vibration-tolerant connections in demanding equipment without frequent maintenance. The design aligns with NEC/CEC standards, offers a NEMA 1 rating, and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, helping ensure regulatory compliance in plant floors and service bays. By combining a reinforced thermoplastic housing with brass, solder contacts, the E1012-103 delivers durable performance, while compatible Cam-Lok F-Series receptacles simplify stocking and spares for your power-distribution network.

FAQs
To install the E1012-103, power down the system and prepare 1/0-3/0 AWG conductors. Use the solder contact option as specified, mate with a compatible Cam-Lok F-Series receptacle, and verify the connection is secure within Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations per NEC/CEC guidance. Ensure clean, dry connections and proper strain relief to maximize reliability and minimize vibration-related wear.
The E1012-103 supports up to 315A continuous current and 550A intermittent current, for 1/0-3/0 AWG conductors at 120 Vac. These ratings make it suitable for heavy feeders and motor drives in automated lines, providing robust performance in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The plug is designed to conform with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 1 rating, intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. This ensures regulatory alignment for typical industrial installations while facilitating safe, compliant power distribution.
Reliability comes from a reinforced thermoplastic housing, brass solder contacts, and a robust Cam-Lok mating design. These features provide excellent vibration tolerance, durable operation in harsh environments, and a long service life with minimal maintenance, which reduces downtime in manufacturing and process facilities.
The E1012-103 reduces maintenance costs by delivering a secure, low-resistance solder connection and rugged housing that withstands vibration and environmental exposure. Its compatibility with Cam-Lok F-Series receptacles streamlines spares inventory and speeds plant downtime recovery, delivering measurable uptime improvements and total cost of ownership benefits.
