Eaton Specification Sheet - E1049-13
High amperage, large-cable capability → Enables up to 1009 A continuous service, reducing cabinet penetrations and improving overall system reliability in heavy-load tools and machines. This translates to fewer field failures and lower maintenance costs, particularly in mining, steel, and process industries. 646 kcmil copper contacts → Ensures low contact resistance and durable conductivity, improving voltage drop control and efficiency on long runs. Hexagon crimp or solder connection → Provides flexible field termination options, speeding up installation and enabling on-site adjustments without specialized tooling, which minimizes downtime. Rubber housing with red color → Delivers rugged environmental resistance and high-visibility identification for quick diagnostics in busy facilities, supporting safer maintenance and faster fault isolation. 1000 Vac/dc rating → Supports mixed AC/DC applications with a single connector family, simplifying spare part inventories and reducing the risk of mis-match during panel wiring. Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification and NEMA 3 rating → Guarantees suitability for standard industrial environments, helping procurement and compliance teams meet NEC/CEC requirements without over-specifying for hazardous locations. Overall, the Roughneck E1049-13 integrates robust electrical performance with straightforward installation, enabling more reliable power distribution in demanding industrial settings.

FAQs
Installers should follow the IF 1777 and IF 1778 instruction sheets for Roughneck E1049 series connectors. Use hexagon crimp tooling for copper conductors up to 646 kcmil, or opt for solder terminations where field conditions limit crimping equipment. Verify proper sealing and tensile relief, then test continuity and insulation resistance per NEC guidelines to ensure a safer, compliant connection.
The E1049-13 is designed for 646 kcmil copper conductors and supports a continuous current rating up to 1009 A. This makes it suitable for high-load feeders and large-diameter power conductors in heavy equipment, while maintaining robust contact integrity and low resistance in demanding industrial environments.
No. The E1049-13 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with a NEMA 3 enclosure rating. It is designed to meet NEC/CEC standards for standard industrial facilities and should not be used in classified hazardous areas unless a different, certified product is specified.
The E1049-13 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA Rating of 3 for enclosure protection. It is designed for use in ordinary locations, aligning with common industrial codes and ensuring safe, compliant operation within typical plant environments.
The E1049-13 combines a copper contact design with hex crimp or solder options, reducing installation time and rework while delivering reliable, long-lasting terminations. Its up-to-date rating (up to 1009 A, 646 kcmil, 1000 Vac/dc) means fewer spares and maintenance interruptions, contributing to improved uptime and lower total cost of ownership for heavy electrical distribution networks.
