Eaton Crouse-Hinds E1017-7 Cam-Lok Plug - NEMA 4, 600V
Part Number: E1017-7
Quick Summary
Eaton Cam-Lok E1017-7 plug is a high-capacity power connector designed for rugged industrial equipment connections. Engineers often struggle with reliable, safe connections for large-diameter cables up to 500 kcmil and 545A continuous. This plug complies with NEC/CEC standards and features a NEMA 4 rating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in ordinary locations. The combination of rubber vulcanized construction and brass contacts delivers durable performance, while crimp termination supports fast, repeatable installations. For system integrators and maintenance teams, this translates to reduced downtime, consistent electrical performance, and lower lifecycle costs for high-current power distribution in demanding environments.

FAQs
The E1017-7 is designed to mate with Cam-Lok J Series receptacles that accept 500 kcmil cables and offer crimp termination. It is ideal for large motor feeders, distribution panels, and outdoor equipment connections in ordinary locations. Always verify receptacle pairing and ensure the mating components share the same cable size, contact material, and rating for safe, code-compliant operation.
Crimp termination for the E1017-7 uses the specified brass contact and appropriate crimp tool designed for 500 kcmil conductors. Begin by preparing the conductor, insulate correctly, and position the conductor into the contact cavity. Apply the crimp with the correct die set to ensure a secure, gas-tight connection. Verify continuity and pull strength after termination and inspect for signs of deformation or insufficient crimping.
Yes. The E1017-7 carries a NEMA 4 rating and is built with vulcanized rubber insulation, offering protection against water and dust ingress in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations, indoor enclosures exposed to moisture, and environments where robust ingress protection is required, helping reduce maintenance intervals.
The E1017-7 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Its NEMA 4 protection level supports safe operation in various industrial environments, including those with exposure to moisture or dirt. This combination helps ensure compliance during audits and supports reliable performance in routine industrial applications.
Choosing the E1017-7 can lower total cost of ownership through faster installation via crimp terminations, reduced downtime due to reliable connections, and durable rubber vulcanized construction that resists wear in harsh environments. Its high current rating (up to 545A) and 600V capability also reduce the need for multiple connectors in large-scale systems, improving spare parts efficiency and maintenance planning.
