Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1012-8362 Cam-Lok F Series plug - 3R
Part Number: E1012-8362
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok E1012 plug provides rugged, high-current power connections for industrial machines and control panels. Designers often struggle with connectors that overheat, loosen under vibration, or fail in wet environments. The E1012-8362 meets these challenges with up to 315 A continuous and 550 A intermittent, a NEMA 3R enclosure, and NEC/CEC compliance for ordinary locations. With brass contacts, double set screws, and a thermoplastic elastomer housing, it delivers reliable, field-serviceable performance for 2/0–4/0 AWG conductors and scalable power distribution in demanding automation environments.

FAQs
To install, ensure the enclosure has a compatible Cam-Lok mating receptacle and that the cable jacket is stripped to the proper length for the double set screws. Insert conductors into the terminal clamp, tighten each screw securely to the torque spec, then mate the plug with the receptacle until a full, audible connect is achieved. Verify there is no strain on the wiring and inspect the brass contacts for any nicking or residue before operation.
The E1012-8362 is rated up to 315 A continuous and 550 A intermittent at 120 VAC. Its double set screw and brass contact design provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection, maintaining electrical integrity during machine startup and heavy-load cycles. For best results, ensure proper torque on screws and use the compatible Cam-Lok F Series receptacles in vibration-prone environments.
Yes. This plug is rated for NEMA 3R enclosures and falls under Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classifications, making it appropriate for outdoor or damp locations without extra enclosure provisions. When selecting, confirm the installation site does not exceed the specified environmental limits and use approved gaskets or seals if required by your panel design.
The E1012-8362 complies with NEC/CEC standards, carries a NEMA 3R rating, and is suited for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It supports 2/0-4/0 AWG cables and is designed for reliable performance in industrial automation environments, aligning with typical electrical codes for control and power distribution equipment.
Maintenance benefits come from robust brass contacts, a secure double set screw connection, and a durable TPE housing that resists environmental exposure. This minimizes contact resistance drift, reduces downtime due to loose connections, and extends service intervals, delivering faster install, simpler field servicing, and lower total cost of ownership in automation deployments.
