Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1012-8337 Cam-Lok plug - 3R rating
Part Number: E1012-8337
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok E1012 plug is a high-current connector designed for industrial power distribution and control panels. Engineers often struggle with reliable, safe interconnects that withstand harsh environments and frequent field maintenance. This Cam-Lok solution aligns with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3R rating for protection in ordinary and outdoor locations, enhancing safety and compliance. The compact 6.06 in length and 1 lb weight simplify retrofits, while 2/0–4/0 AWG capacity, brass contacts, and a tough thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) housing ensure robust conductivity and long service life. In practice, it reduces downtime, speeds installation, and lowers lifecycle costs for heavy equipment, manufacturing lines, and process automation applications.

EB 8 - Cam-Lok E1012 Connectors
Eaton Specification Sheet - E1012-8337
The E1012-8337 Cam-Lok plug delivers reliable high-current interconnection for demanding industrial environments. It supports up to 315 A continuous and 550 A intermittent with 2/0-4/0 AWG conductors, enabling fewer, larger interconnects and reduced wiring complexity on heavy machinery and production lines. Brass contacts paired with a thermoplastic elastomer housing resist wear and corrosion, extending service life and maintaining low contact resistance across years of operation. A single set screw termination speeds field assembly, minimizes torque mistakes, and improves uptime when mating with Cam-Lok F Series receptacles in panels or equipment racks. The connector’s NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA 3R rating ensure safety and code adherence in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, including damp environments. Its compact size and lightweight build optimize enclosure space, supporting streamlined retrofits and faster maintenance.

FAQs
The E1012-8337 is engineered for 2/0–4/0 AWG conductors and delivers up to 315 A continuous current, 550 A intermittent. It is rated for 120 VAC. The brass contacts and single set screw termination provide a secure connection, while the TPE housing resists wear in demanding industrial environments. This makes it suitable for heavy manufacturing, packaging lines, and equipment racks where reliable power is critical.
Installation uses a single set screw termination. Strip the conductors to the required length, insert them into the brass contact terminals, and tighten the set screws to secure the wires. The plug mates with Cam-Lok F Series receptacles for fast, repeatable connections in panels or equipment racks. Refer to EB 8 installation sheets and Cam-Lok catalogs for step-by-step guidance.
This model is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards with a NEMA 3R rating suitable for damp or outdoor environments. It is not intended for Class I or II hazardous areas. Always verify site classification and ensure proper enclosure protection when integrating with power distribution systems.
Cam-Lok E1012 reduces downtime through quick mating and disconnection, lowers maintenance costs due to durable brass contacts and robust TPE housing, and simplifies stocking with common Cam-Lok components. Its ability to support large conductors and high current reduces wiring complexity on assembly lines and heavy machinery, delivering faster installations and lower total cost of ownership.
Official documentation is available from Eaton: Cam-Lok catalogs and pages, brochures, installation instructions EB 8, and the E1012-8337 specification sheet. These PDFs provide wiring guidelines, torque values, mating recommendations, and safety notes to ensure compliant, reliable installations.
