Eaton Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok F Series E1012 plug - 3R
Part Number: E1012-8387
Quick Summary
Cam-Lok F Series E1012 plug securely connects high-current power in industrial equipment. Too many connectors loosen, corrode, or fail under peak loads, causing downtime and costly maintenance. This solution offers a NEMA 3R rating for rugged outdoor and ordinary-location use, NEC/CEC compliance, and an area classification of Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. With 2/0-4/0 AWG capability and brass contacts, it integrates with Cam-Lok receptacles to improve installation efficiency, reduce warranty claims, and lower lifecycle costs for power distribution and heavy machinery applications.

EB 8 - Cam-Lok E1012 Connectors
Eaton Specification Sheet - E1012-8387
Amperage and duty cycle: Up to 315A continuous and 550A intermittent deliver high-current capability with fewer connectors in feeder runs, reducing voltage drop and contact wear. Business impact: increases system reliability and reduces maintenance intervals for motor feeders and weld-down power lines in manufacturing cells. Application: ideal for industrial panels and temporary power setups where high current is required without frequent re-termination. Cable compatibility: Accepts 2/0-4/0 AWG; brass contacts ensure solid conduction and durable contact surfaces. Business impact: minimizes resistance, heat rise, and potential arcing, extending connector life in harsh environments. Application: suitable for large-diameter power cables in robotics, presses, and material-handling equipment. Housing and material: Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) body keeps the connector weather- and impact-resistant, with consistent performance across temperature ranges. Business impact: lowers replacement costs and protects connections in outdoor or shop-floor conditions. Application: works well in outdoor panels, warehouses, and dock-side installations. Mechanism: Double set screw connection provides a secure, vibration-resistant grip on conductors. Business impact: reduces maintenance checks and re-tightening needs during shift changes. Application: preferred in high-vibration machinery and portable power carts. Finish and color: Black housing for visibility and corrosion resistance; female brass contacts for reliable mating with Cam-Lok receptacles. Business impact: simplifies field service and replacement, improving uptime. Application: commonly used in power distribution enclosures and portable power carts across industrial sectors.

FAQs
Power must be de-energized before installation. Prepare conductors to the specified 2/0-4/0 AWG size, insert into the double set screws, and torque to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Ensure brass contacts are fully seated and the mating Cam-Lok receptacle is aligned for proper engagement. Verify there is no insulation damage and perform a post-installation continuity check.
The E1012-8387 plug is rated up to 315A continuous and 550A intermittent, with a voltage rating of 120 VAC. It uses brass contacts for reliable conductivity and a thermoplastic elastomer body designed for industrial environments.
Yes. It carries a NEMA 3R rating suitable for outdoor and rugged indoor conditions, and it is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per NEC/CEC standards, making it appropriate for standard industrial settings without hazardous classifications.
The E1012-8387 plug complies with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3R rating. Its area classification is Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, ensuring regulatory alignment for most non-hazardous industrial applications.
Key benefits include robust brush-brass contacts and a durable TPE housing reducing wear, lower maintenance frequency, and fewer field-term replacements. The high current rating supports larger feeders with fewer connection points, improving uptime and lowering lifecycle costs in high-load applications like conveyors, presses, and heavy equipment power feeds.
