Feature → Business Impact → Application: The E1016-8391 supports up to 400A continuous, enabling higher current transfers with fewer connectors, reducing part counts and installation time on heavy machinery and distribution panels. This improves overall equipment efficiency and minimizes downtime during startup and maintenance. Application: ideal for mining, manufacturing, and large equipment where reliable, high-current Cam-Lok connections are essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A Brass contact system combined with a durable Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) housing provides corrosion resistance, excellent torque retention, and long service life, cutting maintenance costs and replacement cycles. Application: suitable for harsh industrial environments with frequent connect/disconnect cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Double set screw termination delivers repeatable, secure seating for 2/0-4/0 AWG cables, reducing the risk of loose terminations and electrical faults. Application: critical in control cabinets or remote motor starters that require robust field assembly. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The non-vulcanized J Series design offers reliable mating with Cam-Lok receptacles, enabling fast, safe installations and simplified inventory management in facilities with mixed connector families. Application: common in bulk power distribution and temporary power setups. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Green color coding aids quick identification in complex panels and minimizes mis-mating risks in high-density wiring environments. Application: enhances workflow accuracy for technicians and reduces rework in large projects.

FAQs

The E1016-8391 Cam-Lok J Series plug accepts 2/0-4/0 AWG conductors and uses a double set screw termination with brass contacts for secure, repeatable connections. It is designed for 600 Vac/dc operation and pairs with compatible Cam-Lok receptacles to simplify field assembly while maintaining reliably low resistance and minimal hotspot risk.
This plug is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations under NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3R rating, suitable for outdoor or damp environments. These certifications ensure compliance for commercial and industrial installations while supporting safe, code-aligned power distribution.
Yes. The Cam-Lok E1016-8391 is rated NEMA 3R for outdoor and damp environments and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations per NEC/CEC. This makes it a solid choice for exterior equipment cabins, outdoor panels, and other non-hazardous industrial applications where reliable weather resistance matters.
To maximize ROI, perform periodic inspection of the brass contacts for signs of wear or oxidation, verify tightness of the double set screws, and ensure the TPE housing shows no cracks or deformation. Keep spare Cam-Lok receptacles on hand to minimize downtime during field maintenance and ensure continued compliance with NEC/CEC standards.
The E1016-8391 enables rapid, secure field mating with minimal torque adjustments thanks to its double set screw design and robust brass contacts. Its 2/0-4/0 AWG compatibility reduces the number of connectors required, while the TPE body provides durability in harsh environments, collectively shortening commissioning time and lowering downtime in manufacturing and heavy industry.
