Eaton Specification Sheet - E1017-79
High-current capability is built in: Up to 445A continuous, with support for 350 kcmil conductors. This directly reduces the need for parallel connectors and simplifies motor feeds for large machines. In manufacturing lines and conveyors, fewer connectors translates to fewer potential failure points and quicker maintenance. 600 Vac/dc voltage rating combined with NEC/CEC compliance and a NEMA 4 enclosure rating provides safety and versatility across indoor and semi-outdoor installations. This compatibility allows designers to specify a single, rugged connector for diverse equipment and reduces BOM complexity. Rubber housing with vulcanized construction absorbs vibration and resists wear, while brass contacts in a female crimp configuration deliver a reliable, low-resistance path. The crimp termination supports solid, field-serviceable connections for high-current cables, reducing rework and ensuring long-term integrity. Compact dimensions—7.38 in length, 2.69 in width and height, and a 4.16 lb weight—make the E1017-79 straightforward to install in restricted panels or crowded cabinet spaces. Its brown vulcanized rubber body complements Cam-Lok J-Series mating pairs, ensuring consistent, repeatable connections in tight layouts. Crimp-based termination aligns with standard Cam-Lok practice, and Eaton provides installation guidance (EB 94) along with datasheets for the E1017-79, easing procurement and field commissioning.

FAQs
The E1017-79 is designed for Cam-Lok J-Series mating pairs and uses a crimp brass contact in a vulcanized rubber housing. Ensure the receptacle matches the J-Series family and uses 350 kcmil conductors. Confirm the mating finish is clean and free of corrosion, and follow Eaton's EB 94 installation guidelines for correct crimp tooling and torque ranges to maintain NEMA 4 integrity.
The E1017-79 supports up to 445A continuous current and is rated for 600 Vac/dc. It accommodates 350 kcmil cables, uses a crimp connection, and features brass contacts. These specs enable reliable high-current feeds to heavy motors and conveyors while meeting NEC/CEC requirements for ordinary/non-hazardous locations.
Yes. The E1017-79 carries a NEMA 4 rating and NEC/CEC compliance, making it appropriate for ordinary locations in factories, warehouses, and process lines. It is designed to withstand routine exposure to dust and moisture while maintaining a secure, low-resistance connection for critical power feeds in equipment like conveyors and presses.
This Cam-Lok plug aligns with NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 4 enclosure rating. It is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, ensuring regulatory compliance for indoor and semi-protected outdoor installations where reliable power delivery is essential.
The vulcanized rubber housing and brass crimp contacts deliver durable, low-maintenance performance with minimal field servicing. Regular inspection for mating wear and connector cleanliness is advised, but the design reduces downtime due to fewer splice points and a robust, field-serviceable crimp connection that prolongs lifecycle and lowers total cost of ownership.
