FAQs
The E1016-8388 supports 2/0–4/0 AWG conductors, enabling high-current connections for large motors and feeders. The design uses brass contacts and a double set screw to secure the conductors, ensuring a low-resistance, vibration-resistant connection. This makes it suitable for heavy machinery, power distribution panels, and process equipment in industrial environments.
Installation uses a double set screw connection to secure the conductors within the brass contact pathways, paired with a durable thermoplastic elastomer housing. For best results, follow Eaton’s EB 141 guidance on molding to cable connectors and ensure proper strain relief in the panel. The compact 7.18 inch length and 1.5 inch width help fit in constrained enclosures.
Yes. The E1016-8388 is rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and features a NEMA 3R designation, making it well-suited for outdoor use and rugged indoor installations. NEC/CEC compliance further supports safe operation in facilities with outdoor feeders, weather exposure, and wash-down areas when properly installed.
This Cam-Lok J Series plug provides up to 400 A continuous current and a voltage rating of 600 Vac/dc. It complies with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3R rating for outdoor performance. The combination of these specifications helps ensure reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance in industrial power distribution.
The E1016-8388 reduces downtime with secure, vibration-resistant terminations for large-diameter cables, lowering maintenance frequency and contact resistance issues.
