Eaton Specification Sheet - E1017-73
The E1017-73 delivers up to 690A continuous through a compact Cam-Lok J Series plug. This high-current capability reduces the number of terminations and minimizes contact resistance, yielding lower heat rise and improved overall efficiency in power distribution. Suitable for large motors, feeders, and heavy-duty equipment in plant environments. The design supports 800 kcmil cables, allowing direct heavy-gauge terminations with fewer splices and a cleaner, safer installation. A crimp connection with brass contacts provides low electrical resistance and reliable mating, which translates to reduced maintenance and longer interval between replacements in demanding facilities. Rubber, vulcanized housing adds environmental resilience, delivering superior vibration resistance and moisture protection in factory floors and outdoor equipment enclosures. NEMA 4 enclosure protection and NEC/CEC compliance ensure safe operation in Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, simplifying regulatory alignment and reducing risk during audits. Compatibility with other Cam-Lok components and access to Eaton literature, including EB 94 instructions, supports rapid procurement, standardization, and scalable power distribution. These attributes collectively reduce downtime, improve installation speed, and lower total cost of ownership in motor control and plant power networks.

FAQs
Install the E1017-73 using the Crimp connection method specified for Cam-Lok J Series. Use an 800 kcmil-compatible crimp tool and brass contact crimp ferrules rated for the cable size. Ensure mating receptacles are the corresponding J Series, and follow the EB 94 instruction sheet for correct assembly, strain relief, and test procedures before energizing.
Key performance factors include a brass contact material for low resistance, vulcanized rubber housing for environmental protection, and a 600 Vac/dc rating that supports high-power AC or DC systems. The plug is designed to handle up to 800 kcmil cables and a crimp connection, providing reliable, vibration-resistant mating essential for motor feeders and plant distributions.
With NEMA 4 protection and an Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification, the E1017-73 is well-suited for industrial facilities, manufacturing floors, warehouses, and outdoor equipment enclosures where moisture and dust are present but hazardous locations are not a concern. It integrates with the Cam-Lok J Series ecosystem for standardized, quick-connect power distribution.
The E1017-73 meets NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 4 rating for weather resistance. It is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and uses a standard Crimp connection with Brass contacts and vulcanized rubber components. These features support compliant installations in commercial or industrial environments.
Durability comes from vulcanized rubber, brass contacts, and robust construction, reducing wear from vibration and frequent connect-disconnect cycles. Prolonged service and fewer spare parts lower maintenance costs, while standardized Cam-Lok components simplify stocking and training. For ROI, expect reduced downtime, faster motor changes, and improved safety through consistent, color-coded white components and reliable crimp connections.
