Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1012-8314 Cam-Lok F Series plug - 3R
Part Number: E1012-8314
Quick Summary
E1012-8314 Cam-Lok F Series plug by Eaton Crouse-Hinds provides high-current power connections for industrial equipment and automation panels. This plug is designed to handle demanding motor loads with 2/0–4/0 AWG conductors and up to 315 A continuous or 550 A intermittent at 120 VAC, delivering dependable performance in challenging environments. A common pain point is maintaining secure connections under vibration and frequent mating cycles; with brass contacts and a tough thermoplastic elastomer housing, these plugs offer repeatable engagement and long service life. The product aligns with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3R rating for reliable operation in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. For procurement teams, this translates to improved uptime, simplified maintenance, and consistent interchangeability within the Cam-Lok ecosystem.

FAQs
The E1012-8314 is designed to mate with Cam-Lok F Series receptacles and receptacle panels within non-hazardous locations. It uses a single set screw for a secure attachment to 2/0-4/0 AWG conductors and brass contacts to ensure reliable engagement even after frequent cycles. For best results, pair with the corresponding Cam-Lok F Series components and follow Eaton installation instructions to torque to spec and maintain proper insulation coverage.
You can expect up to 315 A continuous and 550 A intermittent with 2/0-4/0 AWG conductors at 120 VAC. This makes the E1012-8314 suitable for high-demand loads such as motors and heavy feeders. Design considerations include ensuring cable insulation rating matches the environment, monitoring temperature rise, and using proper termination practices to preserve the rated performance over time.
Yes, the E1012-8314 is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries NEC/CEC standards alignment with a NEMA 3R rating. This combination supports safe operation in typical industrial spaces, both indoor and-outdoor, while simplifying compliance documentation during audits and procurement.
Regular visual inspections should check for worn contacts, damaged insulation, and signs of corrosion on brass contacts. Replace worn components promptly to maintain current ratings, and re-torque the single set screw as part of preventive maintenance. Establish a replacement plan aligned with your motor startup cycles and environmental exposure to minimize unexpected downtime.
