FAQs
The E1012-8300K is part of the Cam-Lok F Series and uses a single set screw for secure contact; torque specifications are provided in the Cam-Lok E1012 installation guidance (EB 8). For field assemblies, follow the EB 8 instruction sheet to ensure proper engagement, alignment, and seal integrity, especially when wiring #2-2/0 AWG conductors and 120 VAC systems.
This plug carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and a NEMA 3R rating, with Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location area classification. These certifications matter because they verify electrical safety, regulatory alignment, and suitability for outdoor or non-hazardous environments, reducing compliance risk and simplifying facility approvals for industrial applications.
Ideal use cases include heavy machinery power feeds, portable power distribution carts, and outdoor equipment where high current, quick-connect reliability, and rugged construction are critical. The E1012-8300K supports #2-2/0 AWG conductors, 120 VAC, and up to 315A continuous current, making it suitable for demanding manufacturing and processing environments.
The E1012 offers a single-packaged unit with brass contacts and a thermoplastic elastomer housing, delivering durability in harsh environments and straightforward field assembly. The single-set-screw design minimizes assembly complexity, while compatibility with large conductors reduces junction points, improving reliability and reducing maintenance frequency in non-hazardous outdoor locations.
Upgrade benefits include reduced downtime due to quick mating and secure connections, longer service life from durable brass contacts and TPE housing, and easier maintenance with field-installable components. With NEC/CEC compliance and 3R rating, facilities mitigate regulatory risk while improving system uptime and predictable maintenance planning for industrial power networks.
