Eaton E1049-2 Roughneck Plug - 1000 Vac/dc Up to 898A
Part Number: E1049-2
Quick Summary
The Eaton Roughneck E1049-2 plug is a high-amperage electrical connector for heavy-duty power distribution in industrial facilities. Maintenance and downtime often stem from unreliable terminations in rugged environments, which this plug mitigates through copper contacts and a durable rubber housing. With NEC/CEC compliance, a NEMA Rating 3 protection level, and suitability for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, it supports safe, code-compliant installations. Designed for long service life and straightforward field termination, it helps control panels and motor leads meet reliability targets while reducing lifecycle costs. Its 535 kcmil cable capacity and up to 898A continuous rating provide scalability for evolving plant power needs.

535 kcmil cable size with copper contacts provides a high-current path for demanding loads. This reduces voltage drop and minimizes terminal count, delivering a measurable efficiency gain on motor feeders and large power circuits. Application focuses on drive systems and heavy equipment. Feature: Hexagon crimp or solder connection. Benefit: offers versatile field termination options with robust mechanical integrity. Application: control panels, switchgear and equipment installations on the plant floor. Feature: Rubber housing in yellow. Benefit: rugged sealing against dust and moisture with high visibility on the plant floor. Application: outdoor or damp-area installations in ordinary-location facilities. Feature: 1000 Vac/dc rating. Benefit: ensures compatibility with diverse control circuits and safety margins. Application: general-purpose power feeds to equipment and machinery across plants. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA 3 rating. Benefit: reduces regulatory risk and enables use in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Application: project teams can standardize on a single connector for power distribution across multiple lines. Feature: Documentation and resources (IF 1778 instructions, brochures, sheets). Benefit: shorter install times, fewer errors, and better commissioning. Application: procurement, field technicians, and maintenance teams seeking fast reference materials.

FAQs
Install using hexagon crimp or solder methods with 535 kcmil conductors. Ensure copper contacts are fully seated and the rubber housing is correctly positioned to maintain seal integrity. Follow the IF 1778 instruction sheets for step-by-step termination guidance and torque/crimp specs to prevent overheating or loose connections.
The E1049-2 supports up to 898A continuous and a voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc. It uses 535 kcmil copper conductors and is housed in a rubber shell, making it suitable for high-current power feeds to motors and heavy equipment in non-hazardous environments.
Yes. The E1049-2 is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and carries NEC/CEC standards compliance with a NEMA Rating of 3, providing reliable protection in standard industrial settings without specialized hazardous-location enclosures.
Resources include the Roughneck brochure, a dedicated catalog page, IF 1778 instruction sheets, and the Eaton E1049-2 specification sheet. These materials provide termination methods, compatibility notes, and installation steps to streamline procurement and commissioning.
Copper contacts and a rugged rubber housing reduce wear and environmental ingress, while field-terminable hexagon crimp or solder options shorten downtime during service. The high current rating supports fewer connectors for large loads, aiding long-term maintenance and cost efficiency.
