Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1016-8390 Cam-Lok J Series Plug - 600V
Part Number: E1016-8390
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds Cam-Lok E1016-8390 plug provides secure, high-current interconnection for industrial power distribution. When cables carry up to 400A continuous, installers face loose terminations, heat buildup, and downtime that disrupt production. This plug supports NEC/CEC compliance and carries a NEMA 3R rating for outdoor and rugged environments, plus ordinary/non-hazardous area classification for safe indoor use. Designed for 2/0–4/0 AWG conductors and an orange thermoplastic elastomer housing, it integrates with Cam-Lok J Series receptacles to enable fast, reliable field assembly and safer maintenance. The result is improved uptime, reduced labor costs, and more consistent electrical performance across machines and panels.

FAQs
The E1016-8390 is a female Cam-Lok J Series plug designed to mate with corresponding J Series receptacles. It features a double set screw connection for secure, vibration-resistant terminations and is specified for 2/0–4/0 AWG conductors. This combination enables quick, reliable field assembly and safe disconnection when needed, suitable for high-current industrial applications.
Key specs include an amperage rating up to 400A continuous, a voltage rating of 600 Vac/dc, and compatibility with 2/0–4/0 AWG cables. The connector uses brass contacts and a thermoplastic elastomer housing (non-vulcanized), and it is colored orange for easy identification on site.
Yes. The connector is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries a NEMA 3R rating, making it appropriate for outdoor installations and rugged industrial environments. This helps reduce enclosure requirements while maintaining safety and compliance in non-hazardous areas.
The double set screw design provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection, minimizing loosening risks in dynamic machinery. Its large wire-compatibility range (2/0–4/0 AWG) reduces the need for splicing or mid-run replacements. The orange TPE housing aids visibility, while adherence to NEC/CEC standards and NEMA 3R rating enhances overall safety and reliability during commissioning and operation.
