Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1017-34 Cam-Lok J Series Plug - NEMA 4
Part Number: E1017-34
Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1017-34 Cam-Lok J Series Plug provides secure, high-current power connections for rugged industrial machinery. Engineers often struggle with hot-plug fatigue, unreliable terminations, and corrosion in harsh locations, leading to downtime and maintenance overhead. This connector meets NEC/CEC standards, carries a NEMA 4 enclosure rating, and supports up to 690 A at 600 V, ensuring safety and reliability in demanding environments. By combining durable vulcanized rubber construction with a crimp brass contact system, it simplifies field installation and reduces maintenance costs, while supporting large-diameter cables up to 800 kcmil. These attributes translate into faster deployment, lower total cost of ownership, and longer asset life for manufacturing, mining, and processing facilities.

Eaton Specification Sheet - E1017-34
High-current capability enables continuous operation at up to 690 A, reducing the need for multiple smaller terminations and improving system reliability in heavy machinery applications. This directly lowers maintenance downtime and enhances plant throughput for conveyors, presses, and large motors. The unit is compatible with up to 800 kcmil cables and uses a crimp connection with brass contacts, delivering low-resistance terminations that minimize heat buildup and runtime losses—key for feeding large feeders in power distribution panels and remote locations. Vulcanized rubber construction provides excellent vibration resistance and durable mating, ensuring long service life in mobile equipment, mining, and construction environments while tolerating hydraulic and washdown exposure when installed in ordinary locations. NEC/CEC compliance and a NEMA 4 rating give manufacturers and integrators confidence in regulatory alignment and weatherproof performance for outdoor and indoor installations. Installation and qualification documents, including EB 94 instructions and the Cam-Lok catalog, support faster field termination and consistent assembly quality, reducing project risk and accelerating commissioning for industrial projects.

FAQs
Installation requires proper crimp tooling and technique to ensure a solid, low-resistance termination. Use the recommended EB 94 installation sheet for Cam-Lok E1017/E1019/E1023 connectors, follow safety procedures, and verify cable preparation to prevent cold shuts or micro-arcing. The 7 inch length and 2.69 inch width fit typical power distribution footprints, and brass contact assemblies ensure repeatable mating performance.
Best suited for heavy machinery power feeds, conveyors, and large motors in non-hazardous locations. Its 690 A continuous rating and 800 kcmil cable compatibility support high-load feeder runs, while the NEMA 4 rating provides weatherproof performance for outdoor or washdown environments within manufacturing, mining, and processing facilities.
Key specifications include an amperage rating up to 690 A continuous, a voltage rating of 600 Vac/dc, cable compatibility up to 800 kcmil, and a crimp connection using brass contacts. The housing is rubber and vulcanized, and the plug is male with a brown color, designed for rugged, long-life service.
Yes. The connector complies with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 4 rating, making it suitable for ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This alignment supports regulatory acceptance in many industrial facilities and helps ensure safe operation in environments without hazardous classifications.
