Eaton E1012-8082 Cam-Lok F Series Plug - 120V, 3R
Part Number: E1012-8082
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok E1012 plug is a high-current power connector for heavy industrial equipment. Engineers often struggle with unreliable connections that wear quickly in vibration and dusty facilities. This plug aligns with NEC/CEC standards, carries a NEMA 3R enclosure rating, and is suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Designed for 3/0-4/0 AWG with crimp or solder terminations, it supports 315A continuous and 550A intermittent at 120 VAC. This rugged, red Cam-Lok connector minimizes maintenance costs and accelerates installation in panel and motor-control environments. The brass contacts and TPE housing deliver durable contact performance and resistance to heat, oils, and impact. This makes it a reliable, long-term solution for feeders, conveyors, and switchgear in harsh sites.

Eaton Specification Sheet - E1012-8082
The E1012-8082 Cam-Lok F Series plug delivers high-current capability, supporting up to 315A continuous and 550A intermittent at 120 VAC. This translates to fewer parallel connections, reduced copper usage, and lower overall system complexity in demanding motors, drives, and feeders. By supporting 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors with either crimp or solder terminations, installation flexibility increases on site, minimizes rework, and accelerates commissioning of new lines and upgrades in rugged environments. The red thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) housing, brass contacts, and robust connector geometry provide reliable mating under vibration, heat, and exposure to oils or dust, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs in high-demand applications. Compatibility with the Cam-Lok F Series ecosystem ensures quick field swaps and consistent performance across panels, MCCs, and switchgear, while meeting NEC/CEC requirements and ordinary/non-hazardous location criteria. For installers, this means fewer spare parts, faster wiring, and predictable outcomes in conveyors, packaging lines, and machine tending operations.

FAQs
The E1012-8082 Cam-Lok F Series plug accepts 3/0-4/0 AWG conductors and supports both crimp and solder terminations, enabling flexible field wiring. It mates with standard Cam-Lok F series receptacles, allowing rapid, reliable connections in panels, MCCs, and motor-control setups. This compatibility, combined with the 120 VAC rating, makes it suitable for high-current feeder drops and device interconnections in harsh industrial environments.
315A continuous means the connector can sustain a sustained load near this value without overheating under normal conditions, while 550A intermittent indicates short-duration peak capability for inrush or startup currents. This enables fewer parallel connections, reduces wiring complexity, and supports motor drives and conveyors with brief surge requirements, improving overall system reliability and reducing wiring costs in heavy-duty applications.
This plug is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and features a NEMA 3R enclosure rating, aligning with NEC/CEC standards for non-hazardous environments. It is not specified for hazardous classified areas. For installations in classified zones, consult the appropriate hazardous-location Cam-Lok options and ensure compliance with local codes and manufacturer guidance.
With brass contacts and a TPE body, the E1012-8082 is designed for durable field performance. Regular inspection of crimp or solder terminations, cleaning of connector mating surfaces, and periodic checks for wear or corrosion on contacts help extend lifecycle. When replacement is needed, the plug’s modular Cam-Lok interface supports quick swaps, minimizing downtime in conveyors and panel assemblies.
ROI is driven by reduced downtime, simpler wiring, and lower maintenance costs. The E1012-8082 supports high-current loads with fewer connections, enabling faster installation and commissioning. Its durable materials and straightforward termination reduce field service time, while compatibility with standard Cam-Lok components lowers spare-part inventory. In high-use environments, these factors translate to quicker payback and predictable performance.
