Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1012-8327 Cam-Lok plug - NEMA 3R
Part Number: E1012-8327
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok E1012 plug delivers secure, high-current power connections for heavy industrial equipment. Mismatched connectors and brittle terminations cause downtime; this plug is engineered for quick, reliable field installation. It complies with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3R rating for outdoor and non-hazardous locations, providing dependable service in harsh environments. Brass contacts, a thermoplastic elastomer housing, and a single set screw enable fast, repeatable installations, reducing maintenance and downtime. Red coloration improves visibility in busy switchgear, while compatibility with Cam-Lok F Series and #2-2/0 AWG cables supports up to 315A continuous, 550A intermittent. In practice, this reduces troubleshooting time and extends service life by enabling consistent, repeatable terminations.

Amperage and voltage ratings establish the backbone of the E1012 plug: up to 315A continuous and 550A intermittent at 120 VAC, enabling it to feed motors, drives, and feeders without multiple junctions. This reduces cabinet clutter and minimizes voltage drop on long runs, improving overall system efficiency. The plug supports #2-2/0 AWG cable, aligning with common feeder designs in industrial plants. Material and build quality translate to reliability in harsh environments. The thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) housing provides durability and impact resistance, while brass contacts deliver low-resistance mating and long life. The red color improves visibility in crowded switchgear, reducing misconnections during maintenance and installation. Connection design simplifies field wiring. A single set screw secures each conductor, enabling quick, repeatable terminations with fewer tools and reduced training time. Combined with Cam-Lok F Series compatibility, technicians can standardize consumables across multiple lines, lowering inventory costs. Compliance and protection save time during audits and commissioning. NEC/CEC standards alignment and a NEMA 3R rating support safe outdoor use in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, ensuring performance in rain, dust, and temperature swings. This makes it suitable for outdoor equipment, portable generators, and industrial automation panels. In practice, these features translate to measurable ROI: faster installs, fewer callouts for loose connections, and reliable power delivery across harsh environments.
