Eaton Cam-Lok E1012-8389 plug - Cam-Lok F Series, 3R rated
Part Number: E1012-8389
Quick Summary
Eaton Cam-Lok E1012-8389 plug provides fast, high-current power connections for demanding industrial installations, enabling reliable distribution of power to motors, drives, and equipment in harsh environments. For maintenance teams, downtime often stems from marginal terminations or incompatible connectors; this plug is designed for secure, repeatable mating, resisting loosening under vibration and rugged use. It meets NEC/CEC standards and carries NEMA 3R enclosure protection, with Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classification to simplify compliance in non-hazardous facilities. A brass contact set inside a thermoplastic elastomer body delivers low resistance, while the double set screws ensure solid torque; coupling with Cam-Lok F Series reduces installation time and supports 2/0–4/0 AWG cables.

FAQs
The E1012-8389 accepts 2/0 to 4/0 AWG conductors. It uses a double set screw termination to ensure a secure, low-impedance connection. For best results, verify conductor insulation type and torque specifications per the Cam-Lok documentation to avoid over-tightening or loosening under vibration.
This Cam-Lok E1012-8389 plug is rated up to 315 A continuous and 550 A intermittent, at 120 VAC. These ratings make it suitable for high-load applications such as motors and drives in non-hazardous environments, while maintaining safe operating margins in typical industrial settings.
Yes, the E1012-8389 is designed for industrial power distribution to motors and drives in ordinary locations. Its 2/0–4/0 AWG compatibility, brass contacts, and robust TPE housing support reliable, repeatable mating under load, reducing downtime during startup and during maintenance cycles.
The connector aligns with NEC/CEC standards and is rated NEMA 3R for enclosure protection. It is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, which simplifies compliance for non-hazardous plants and ensures safe operation in typical indoor or outdoor environments.
The double set screws and brass contacts provide stable termination with low resistance, reducing heat buildup and arcing risks. The rugged red TPE housing improves durability and visibility, leading to faster diagnostics and servicing. Over time, this translates to reduced downtime, longer service life, and lower total cost of ownership in high-current electrical installations.
