Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1017-31 Cam-Lok plug - NEMA 4
Part Number: E1017-31
Quick Summary
The E1017-31 Cam-Lok plug is a high-current power connector designed for rugged industrial installations. It provides reliable, quick-connect power for heavy equipment and motor feeds in manufacturing and processing facilities. Many teams struggle with connectors that fail under vibration, moisture, or repeated mating cycles, leading to costly downtime. This Cam-Lok J Series plug delivers a NEMA 4-rated enclosure solution with 600 Vac/dc capability and up to 445 A continuous current, using vulcanized rubber housing and brass contacts for long life. Compatibility with Cam-Lok receptacles, NEC/CEC compliance, and ordinary-location operation reduce QA gaps and installation time, while sustaining performance in harsh environments. Such robustness translates to lower maintenance costs and faster deployment for plant expansion or capital projects.

FAQs
Installers should use the appropriate Cam-Lok J Series mating receptacle and a compatible crimp tool to terminate 350 kcmil conductors. Follow the EB 94 installation instructions for Cam-Lok E1017, E1019, and E1023 connectors to ensure correct crimp sizing, insulation seating, and strain relief. Verify voltage rating of 600 Vac/dc and confirm a secure, vibration-resistant connection before energizing the circuit.
The E1017-31 supports up to 445 A continuous current and uses a 350 kcmil conductor, enabling large motor feeds and power distribution with minimal voltage drop. The brass contacts provide reliable conductivity, while the vulcanized rubber housing offers rugged, weather-resistive performance in harsh environments. Its NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA 4 rating make it a dependable choice for industrial automation and material handling.
Yes. The E1017-31 is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, balancing regulatory compliance with practical utility in typical plant environments. The NEMA 4 enclosure rating further supports use in environments with dust, moisture, and wash-down conditions common in manufacturing and processing facilities.
Regular inspection should focus on mating surfaces, connector seals, and the crimp integrity of the conductors. Check for wear, corrosion on brass contacts, and any signs of moisture ingress. Maintain clean, dry connectors and replace damaged components promptly. Refer to the CAM-Lok installation literature for recommended torque values and re-crimp guidelines if life-cycle tests indicate wear.
Comprehensive documentation includes the Cam-Lok catalog pages for J Series, the Cam-Lok catalog for single pole plugs and receptacles, the EB 94 installation sheet for E1017/E1019/E1023 connectors, and the E1017-31 specification sheet. These resources provide electrical characteristics, wiring diagrams, mating instructions, and recommended installation practices to help engineers and technicians ensure compliant, repeatable results.
