FAQs
The E1012-72 uses a secure set-screw termination with brass contacts and a reinforced thermoplastic housing. It accommodates 1/0-3/0 AWG cables and is designed for 120 Vac systems. For best results, ensure proper conductor seating, torque per the manufacturer guidelines, and compatible mating receptacles to maintain the high-current rating and reliable connections in industrial environments.
Yes. The E1012-72 is specified for 1/0-3/0 AWG conductors, providing a secure, high-current connection. When pairing with receptacles, verify alignment of the female contact geometry and ensure the set-screw is tightened to the recommended torque to maintain low contact resistance under load.
This plug is designed for NEC/CEC standards compliance and is rated for NEMA 1 enclosures suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. It’s built to meet industry expectations for reliability in industrial automation environments, reducing risk and simplifying regulatory alignment for plant installations.
Intended for ordinary, non-hazardous locations, including factory floors, control panels, and machinery power distributions. Its reinforced thermoplastic housing and brass contacts are optimized for vibration and routine industrial exposure, delivering stable performance in automation and conveyor systems.
Regular inspection of the set-screw termination, contact cleanliness, and connector mating faces helps preserve low resistance and thermal performance. The brass contact material plus a robust housing design reduces wear, enabling longer service intervals and lower replacement costs in high-cycle automation environments.
