FAQs
The E1012-62K is designed for #2-1/0 AWG conductors and uses a set-screw termination with brass contacts in a reinforced thermoplastic housing. It mates with Cam-Lok F Series receptacles and is supplied as a single packaged unit, simplifying inventory and field assembly. Follow manufacturer torque specs and verify conductor insulation for reliable performance.
This plug supports up to 315 A continuous and 550 A intermittent at 120 Vac. Continuous ratings indicate sustained operation within thermal limits, while intermittent ratings cover short peak demands. Design your system to meet worst-case conditions, ensuring conductor sizing, enclosure ventilation, and protection align with NEC/CEC requirements.
Yes. The E1012-62K is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations under NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 1 rating, making it appropriate for indoor, non-hazardous plant environments. This helps ensure code-compliant installations, simplifies regulatory reviews, and supports safe, routine maintenance in manufacturing settings.
Install by preparing clean conductor terminations and seating them under the set screws with brass contacts properly engaged. Tighten per the recommended torque to avoid loosening from vibration. Ensure mating receptacles are compatible with Cam-Lok F Series. Regular inspections of contact surfaces and torque checks during maintenance help sustain low contact resistance and reliable power transfer.
Choosing the E1012-62K yields lower downtime through rugged construction, long-lasting brass contacts, and a field-serviceable, single-packaged unit. The 120 Vac rating covers common plant power needs, while the ability to handle large conductors reduces wiring complexity and spare-part counts. Over time, this translates to faster service, fewer failures, and lower total cost of ownership.
