Eaton Cam-Lok E1012-8377 Plug - 120 Vac, 315 A, 3R
Part Number: E1012-8377
Quick Summary
Eaton Cam-Lok E1012-8377 plug is a high-current 120 Vac connector designed for robust power distribution in industrial automation. Many engineers face secure, vibration-resistant terminations when carrying large currents, which can cause arcing or loosening over time. This plug delivers up to 315 A continuously and 550 A intermittently, with a durable brass contact design and a double set screw termination to improve reliability in demanding environments. It meets NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, with a NEMA 3R enclosure rating for outdoor or rugged indoor use. In practice, this enables faster, safer installations and reduces field maintenance with a clearly defined, field-tested interface for Cam-Lok F Series systems.

FAQs
The E1012-8377 is designed to pair directly with Cam-Lok F Series single-pole receptacles, featuring a male-female gender interface that aligns with standard Cam-Lok mating practices. The double-set-screw termination accepts #2-2/0 AWG conductors, ensuring a secure, vibration-resistant connection. For field applications, verify cable routing and strain relief to maintain consistent contact integrity and minimize micro-movements that can lead to wear or looseness over time.
This E1012-8377 plug supports up to 315 A continuous and 550 A intermittent, at 120 Vac. It accepts cable sizes #2-2/0 AWG and uses brass contacts to maintain low resistance and high conductivity under heavy loads. In installation planning, match the expected duty cycle and ambient conditions to ensure the continuous rating is maintained, and implement proper cooling or ventilation for sustained high-current operation.
Yes. The E1012-8377 carries an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification with a NEMA 3R rating, making it suitable for outdoor use and sheltered indoor environments. This combination supports reliable operation in moisture-prone or dusty factory floors, while NEC/CEC compliance provides a clear regulatory basis for the installation in commercial and light-industrial facilities.
The connector aligns with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3R enclosure rating, indicating protection against rain and snow. Its ordinary/non-hazardous location designation informs suitability for typical industrial sites. These certifications support compliance during audits and help maintain safety margins for electrical installations in motor control centers and distribution panels.
Key maintenance advantages include a robust brass contact interface that resists wear, a double-set-screw termination that maintains a secure grip, and a TPE housing that withstands environmental exposure. Regular inspection of mating surfaces, bolt tightness, and cable strain relief reduces noise, arcing risk, and downtime. Over time, these factors translate into lower service calls, longer connector life, and a favorable return on investment for high-current power distribution.
