FAQs
The E1012-8080 supports both crimp and solder terminations with brass contacts inside a durable Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) housing. For crimp installs, use the appropriate Cam-Lok crimp tooling and prepared 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors. For solder, ensure proper heat control and clean joints. The female interface mates reliably with compatible Cam-Lok receptacles, delivering a robust, field-serviceable connection.
This Cam-Lok F Series plug, model E1012-8080, supports up to 315 A continuous and 550 A intermittent, with cable size compatibility for 3/0-4/0 AWG. It is rated for 120 Vac and uses brass contacts in a female configuration. This makes it suitable for high-current applications such as motors, conveyors, and heavy industrial equipment.
The E1012-8080 carries NEC/CEC compliance and a NEMA 3R rating, providing weather resistance suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. This combination supports safe operation in indoor and outdoor industrial environments, meeting typical compliance requirements for electrical connectors used in manufacturing, processing, and material handling facilities.
Common applications include high-current power distribution for motors, heavy conveyors, metalworking machinery, and process equipment. Industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, etc., benefit from the Cam-Lok F Series E1012-8080 due to its rugged construction, reliable crimp or solder termination, and weather-resistant performance in non-hazardous locations.
Plan for minimal maintenance due to brass contacts and robust TPE housing that resist wear in harsh environments. The option to terminate in the field reduces downtime during installation or retrofits. The higher current capability and durable construction translate to lower repair costs and longer intervals between replacements, improving total cost of ownership for power distribution assemblies.
