Eaton Specification Sheet - E1012-8364
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The E1012-8364 supports up to 315A continuous and 550A intermittent current, enabling large motors and heavy loads to start and run without voltage drop. This translates to improved equipment uptime and reduced risk of thermal overload in manufacturing lines or process plants. Application-wise, it fits large-scale feeders and test benches that demand reliable, high-current connections with quick disconnects when servicing equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Cable size compatibility of 2/0-4/0 AWG allows direct integration with large power cables, simplifying panel design and reducing labor during assemblies. This capability lowers installation time and supports compliant wiring practices in control cabinets and plug-and-play stations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Double set screw connections provide a secure, vibration-resistant interface, cutting loosening risks in environments with machinery vibration or portable power setups. This improves ongoing contact integrity for continuous operation, especially in CNC machines and outdoor electrical equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Brass contact material offers low resistance and durable conductivity, reducing heat buildup and extending connector life in high-demand cycles. This is critical for motor drives, pumps, and industrial conveyors where frequent make-break cycles occur. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Thermoplastic elastomer housing provides rugged protection against impacts and abrasion, supporting longer service life in harsh factories and outdoor installations. It also supports safer, clearer identification of power connections in multi-circuit panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Red color coding improves safety protocols by ensuring correct mating with compatible receptacles, lowering configuration errors during maintenance or shifts in shift-work environments. These features collectively enable more predictable maintenance, lower total cost of ownership, and smoother upgrade paths when expanding Cam-Lok F Series installations.

FAQs
To install the E1012-8364, ensure mating with the corresponding Cam-Lok F Series receptacle. Insert 2/0-4/0 AWG conductors into the terminal block and secure them with the double set screws, following the torque recommendations in the installation sheets. Verify solid brass contact engagement and proper housing alignment to prevent micro-movements under vibration. After assembly, perform a continuity check and insulation test per NEC guidelines to ensure a safe, compliant connection during operation.
The E1012-8364 is rated up to 315A continuous and 550A intermittent, at 120 VAC. This makes it suitable for high-current applications such as large motors, feeders, and industrial machinery, while maintaining safe operation in ordinary/non-hazardous locations as defined by NEC/CEC standards and NEMA 3R protection.
Yes. The plug is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries a NEMA 3R rating, which supports outdoor and weather-protected installations. Its red housing and robust construction are optimized for visibility and long service life in factory yards, outdoor equipment, and indoor control panels exposed to the elements.
This connector complies with NEC/CEC standards and features a NEMA 3R rating for enclosure protection. It is suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and integrates with Cam-Lok F Series receptacles for reliable, code-compliant power distribution in industrial settings.
By delivering a high-current, secure connection with brass contacts and a durable TPE housing, the E1012-8364 reduces contact resistance, minimizes heating, and lowers failure rates. The double set screw design eases installation and maintenance, while its compatibility with 2/0-4/0 AWG cables supports scalable power distribution, resulting in fewer field failures, reduced downtime, and longer service intervals.
