Crimp termination with brass contacts delivers a solid, low-resistance joint that resists loosening under vibration. This reduces field rework and maintenance time, improving uptime for critical power links. It is ideal for 500 kcmil cables and supports up to 545A continuous in Cam-Lok J Series installations. Vulcanized rubber housing provides environmental sealing, protecting against moisture, dust, and temperature cycling, which translates to fewer field failures and longer service intervals on outdoor panels and dusty factory floors. The 600 Vac/dc rating offers flexible use across AC and DC applications, enabling motor drives and high-power feeders within a single connector family. At 7.38 in long and a compact 2.69 x 2.69 in footprint, the plug minimizes panel intrusion while remaining robust enough for heavy industrial environments. End-to-end, these features support NEC/CEC compliance while simplifying inventory management and technician training for mixed power systems. The connector’s brass contacts and vulcanized body deliver reliable, vibration-resistant performance in demanding installations, reducing maintenance overhead and improving overall line efficiency. Compatibility with Cam-Lok J Series receptacles ensures seamless replacement and spare-part planning, helping facilities standardize on a single high-current solution across multiple applications.

FAQs

The E1017-56 supports 500 kcmil conductors with a crimp termination using brass contacts for high-current, low-resistance joints. It is designed for Cam-Lok J Series mating and accommodates up to 545A continuous, 600 Vac/dc. When selecting mating receptacles, ensure the partner component is a Cam-Lok J Series plug/receptacle pair to maintain performance and safety.
Installation should follow the EB 94 instruction sheets and the Cam-Lok J Series guidelines. Use the approved crimp tooling for 500 kcmil cables, verify the vulcanized rubber body provides proper sealing, and ensure the installation is in Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations per NEC/CEC. Tighten and verify the crimp termination for secure, vibration-resistant connections in harsh environments.
Yes. The E1017-56 is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 4 enclosure rating for protection against moisture and dust. It is suitable for ordinary/non-hazard locations, making it a compliant choice for industrial facilities requiring durable, code-aligned connectors for high-current applications.
Durability comes from brass contacts and a vulcanized rubber housing, delivering resistance to wear and environmental exposure. Routine maintenance is minimal but should include periodic inspection of the crimp termination for signs of loosening or corrosion, and replacement of worn components per Eaton's recommended maintenance schedule. Proper mating and clean contact surfaces extend lifecycle and uptime.
