High-current capability translates to real-world savings: Up to 315A continuous and 550A intermittent, Cam-Lok E1012-8012 handles heavy loads without frequent terminations. The business impact is reduced downtime and fewer connectors required, making it ideal for motor drives, power distribution, and heavy equipment interfaces. It supports 1/0–2/0 AWG cables, which lowers the risk of mis-sizing and provides a robust, scalable solution for expanding panels and equipment fleets. The thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) body and brass contacts deliver durability and reliable conductivity in challenging environments, reducing maintenance cycles and replacement costs. Crimp or solder termination options enable field-install flexibility alongside controlled installation in factory settings. With a compact footprint, dimensions of 5.28 in length, 1.63 in height, and 1.5 in width, plus a 1 lb weight, it fits tight panel layouts and simplifies handling during assembly and service.

FAQs
The E1012-8012 supports 1/0 to 2/0 AWG cables, enabling high-current connections for large power conductors. It is rated up to 315 A continuous and 550 A intermittent, making it suitable for demanding automation panels and motor drives without frequent terminations.
Yes. It is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries a NEMA 3R rating, which provides weather resistance suitable for indoor and some outdoor applications in non-hazardous environments.
Termination options include both crimp and solder methods. Brass contacts ensure solid electrical performance, while the choice depends on your assembly process, tools, and field conditions. Crimping is typically faster for production environments; soldering may be preferred for certain custom or legacy installations.
Ideal for panel power distribution, machine wiring, and heavy equipment interconnections, especially where large conductor sizes and high current are required. It also helps reduce assembly time in motor drive and control panel projects due to its straightforward termination options and compact form factor.
The connector aligns with NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with a NEMA 3R housing, providing regulatory assurance for typical industrial environments and non-hazardous locations.
